About this work

This painting shows a chaotic crowd of people tangled together. Their bodies twist in every direction, packed so tightly you can barely tell where one ends and another begins. The colors are mostly deep reds and browns, with flashes of white and gray in their clothing—like a storm of fabric and movement. The faces are blurred, almost lost in the mess, but their arms and legs stretch out in every direction. The background is a solid red, making the figures stand out like shadows in a firelit room. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
