This painting shows a gray background with a few bright, rough shapes. On the left, there’s a vertical stack of colored fabric strips—yellow, black, red, and green—stitched together and slightly frayed. To the right, a dark, smudged shape looks like a hand or a shadow, with some red and brown streaks. The fabric strips stand out against the dull gray, making them pop. The paint looks thick and uneven, almost like it was slapped on. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
