This painting is just ink splashes on light paper. The shapes look like a lumpy blob on top, with a few scattered lines and blobs below—some thick, some thin. The colors are mostly dark gray and black against a pale background. The artist used loose, quick strokes. It’s not trying to be anything recognizable—just marks on paper. If you like this style, check out Kenzo Okada.
