This painting shows a shirtless person holding a gun, aiming it toward the right side. Their face is relaxed, almost smiling, but the gun looks heavy and serious. The background is mostly a bright yellow, with the figure outlined in blue. The artist used thick, rough strokes to make the colors pop against each other. The blue lines feel like they’re drawn with a marker, while the yellow background looks painted on fast. Next, check out Jane Kaplowitz to see how she plays with color and shape in her work.
