This print shows two people lying down in a dark room. One is curled up, resting their head on their arm, while the other has their arm stretched out. Behind them, a chaotic crowd of white figures fills the background, as if seen through a window or screen. The colors are mostly dark blues, greens, and reds, with the crowd standing out in stark white. The artist used bold lines and flat colors, giving the scene a graphic, almost comic-book feel. The contrast between the quiet figures and the frenzied crowd creates a striking difference. Look up Jerry Kearns to see more of his bold, layered prints.
