About this work

This painting shows two greenish-black shapes that look like a person and a bird tangled together. The colors are mostly dark green and black, with some white and light blue splatters around the edges. The lines are thick and messy, almost like they were made in one quick go. The artist used a printing method that lets the ink bleed and smudge, giving it a rough, uneven look. The shapes don’t quite match up perfectly, which makes it feel more like a sketch than a polished drawing. If you like this style, check out Josh Smith.
