About this work

This painting looks like a messy, tangled web of lines and shapes. The whole thing is in black and white, with lots of overlapping marks that make it hard to tell where one thing starts or ends. There’s no clear picture of people, animals, or places—just a jumble of scribbles and patches. The artist took printed text and drew all over it, layering ink to create this chaotic effect. It’s like someone scribbled notes on a page, then kept adding more until nothing made sense. Want to see more work like this? Check out Julia Fish.
