About this work

This painting looks like raw, torn burlap with patches of white and dark smudges. Two round shapes—one big, one small—are covered in crisscrossed string, almost like windows with broken glass. The edges are jagged, with streaks of black and thin lines cutting across the surface. The artist used real materials: lampblack (soot) and whiting (chalky powder) scraped onto the fabric. It feels rough and unfinished, like something pulled apart and put back together. Next, check out Manolo Millares to see how he worked with simple, broken forms.
