About this work

This painting is full of bold shapes and bright colors. You see big gears, tools, and a face that looks like it’s made of dots and lines. The colors are mostly red, yellow, black, and white, all mixed together in sharp blocks. The whole thing looks like it’s cut up and rearranged. The dots covering parts of the image are a big clue. They mimic how old comics used to print colors—just like you’d see in a newspaper. The artist took that style and made it bigger. Want to know more? Check out lithography.
