About this work

This painting looks like a rifle target with three black circles and rings. The paper is splattered with messy, uneven blobs of red, green, yellow, and brown ink. Some areas are dry and scratchy, while others blend into smudges. The whole thing feels chaotic, like someone threw paint at it. The title says nothing about guns—it’s just *Untitled*. The artist took a printed target and turned it into something wild, almost like a mistake or an accident. Next, check out Robert Watts to see how he played with everyday objects in weird ways.
