About this work

This image is a busy collage of skeletons, faces, and odd objects. A central skeleton wears a blue bow tie and holds up a pair of black gloves. Around it, there are clashing colors—bright greens, reds, and yellows—and clippings of old photos, like a woman in a dark coat and a man with a child. Candles, a teapot, and a tiny birdcage are scattered in, along with scribbled lines and text. The mix of real photos and drawn elements feels like a puzzle. The artist layered different materials to create something unexpected. If you like this, check out gouache next.
