This painting is a mix of materials, with oil on plexiglass and wood, plus metal rods and bolts. It's interesting because the artist used layers to create depth. The metal rods add a sense of movement, even though the overall piece is static. Check out the technique of impasto to learn more about how artists like Jesús Rafael Soto build up textures in their work.
