This painting is a small, rectangular piece with a peach-colored background. Across it, there are loose, black brushstrokes—some thick, some thin—that crisscross in no clear pattern. The lines look quick, like they were made fast, and the edges are uneven. The artist used a screenprint method, which explains why the lines feel slightly flat and repetitive. It’s not trying to show anything real—just shapes and movement on a plain surface. If you like this style, check out Larry Poons.
