About this work

This painting is packed with bold colors and strange shapes. Big circles with numbers like 60, 34, and 17 float in the middle, some glowing with a light effect. Inside those circles are simple drawings of dripping faucets or hands holding water. The background is messy—bright yellows, fiery reds, and dark browns that look like they’re splattered on. It feels chaotic but also kind of fun. The numbers and dripping shapes might be a puzzle or a joke—like a mix of math and everyday objects. The paint looks thick and layered, almost like it was slapped on the paper. If you like this wild mix of colors and ideas, check out Lari Pittman.
