About this work

This painting shows two blurry white figures against a black background. The shapes look like people, but you can’t tell much about them. The paint is thick in spots, making some areas look rough. The artist used a lot of white on black to make the figures stand out. The paint is layered, so it looks almost like carving in color. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
