This painting is two panels of thick, messy brushstrokes in bright reds, oranges, and yellows. Words like "I love" and "I hate" are scribbled in uneven letters, mixed with swirls and splatters. A bright orange circle with jagged lines looks like a sun or explosion in the middle. The paint is piled high in some spots, giving it a rough, textured feel. The colors clash but also feel alive, like scribbles from a fast-moving hand. If you like this wild style, look up impasto.
