About this work

This painting shows a group of tall buildings with cranes on top, set against a dark green background. The shapes are rough and blocky, with lots of sharp edges. The border is thick and uneven—yellow and black lines that look like they were brushed on by hand. The buildings are simple, almost like sketches, but the colors are bold: blues, greens, and a bright yellow frame. The title isn’t written on the art itself, but the signature is small and neat in the corner. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists print images like this.
