About this work

This painting shows three tall, narrow panels side by side. Each one looks like a black-and-white photo of trees, but it’s clearly painted. The brushstrokes are rough and uneven, making the trees look fuzzy and indistinct. The middle panel has a bench under the trees, and the right panel shows a thin pole sticking up. The artist used simple shapes and flat colors to make the trees look more like shadows than real foliage. It’s almost like the paint was slapped on quickly, without much detail. If you like this style, look up Richard Artschwager.
