About this work

This painting is split into two uneven parts. On the left, thick red and orange blocks sit on a beige background, some edges rough and uneven. To the right, soft pinks and browns blur together with faint pencil lines, like a sketch half-finished. The red paint on the right side drips down the edge, messy and alive. The colors feel warm but not polished—they look handmade, like someone layered paint and paper instead of painting on a flat surface. Check out Joan Snyder for more work like this.
