About this work

This painting shows two simple drawings on a plain background. The top part looks like a tall, blocky streetlamp with a rounded top and a few wavy lines dripping down. The bottom part is a small window on a building, with a dark interior that has a face and some swirling shapes inside. The artist used flat colors and sharp lines, making it look almost like a sketch. The dripping lines on the lamp are the only loose, messy part. Next, check out Mike Kelley to see how he played with everyday objects in his work.
