About this work

This image shows a collage of two parts. On the left is a red square with a white hand reaching out. On the right is a black silhouette of a person’s head and arm, also reaching toward the red square. The red square looks like it’s been painted over with thick, uneven strokes. The black silhouette is cut out and taped onto the paper. Look up gouache to see how this matte paint differs from other techniques.
