About this work

This painting looks like a messy, swirled mix of colors. You see dark blues, reds, and browns splashed together in a circle. The bottom half has a lighter, sandy color with a big shadowy shape cutting across it. The artist used a printing method where ink is pressed onto stone. That’s why the colors look uneven and splattered. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
