About this work

This painting is a busy, angular scene of people in a room that looks like it’s falling apart. The figures are stiff and blocky, some sitting on broken chairs or leaning against walls that tilt at odd angles. Light pours in through windows, but the colors are mostly flat browns, blacks, and whites, with a few sharp yellows and grays. The artist flattened the shapes so everything looks like it’s made of paper or cardboard. It’s not a realistic space—more like a stage set where the rules of perspective don’t apply. Try looking up gouache to see how this soft, matte paint works.
