Untitled is a 2013 glass by José Carlos Martinat, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a big, rough letter N made of black and white scribbles. The background is a bright yellow, but it’s scuffed and uneven, like it’s been worn down. The edges of the N are jagged, and the black parts have a messy, layered look—almost like it’s built from scraps. The artist used real graffiti and mixed it with other materials like glass and paper. That’s why it feels raw and unfinished, like something found on a street rather than painted in a studio. If you like this style, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
