About this work

This painting shows five dark, blob-like shapes in a row on a light background. They look like they’re connected, with some jagged lines sticking out. The whole thing feels loose and sketchy, almost like ink splatters. The artist used a mix of printing and pressing to make the shapes pop. The date in the corner is 1980, but the style doesn’t match any big art movement. Check out how this artist used lithography to create it.
