About this work

This painting is all sharp angles and bold colors. A figure sits in a chair, but their face is hidden by a dark hat. The scene is broken into jagged shapes—reds, yellows, and blues clash against each other. Light cuts through the chaos like a blade, highlighting edges. The artist chopped reality into pieces, almost like a puzzle. The thick paint makes the shapes pop off the canvas. Next, look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
