About this work

This painting is packed with bold colors and clashing shapes. A woman’s face looms in the top right, holding a long-handled tool like a broom or umbrella. Below her, a wobbly table holds a kettle, a plate of bread, and a plant in a striped pot. The background mixes buildings, stripes, and a sky that looks both sunny and stormy at once. The artist layered thick paint and sharp lines to create this busy scene. The colors pop—reds, blues, and blacks—while the shapes feel both real and slightly off-kilter. Look up Lari Pittman to see more of this artist’s wild, layered style.
