Untitled is a 2011 graphite by Matt Connors, a contemporary_abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is made of two tall panels stuck together. The colors are bright but faded—yellows, greens, blues, and a dark brown blob in the middle. Some areas look like they were scraped or layered, with rough edges and smudges. There’s a small black rectangle near the bottom right and a few thin pencil lines in the lower left. The brushstrokes are messy, almost like the paint was thrown on or dragged. The colors don’t match up neatly, giving it a loose, unfinished feel. If you like this style, try looking up cross-hatching next.
