About this work

This painting is full of bold shapes and bright colors. A figure bends over, painted in orange and brown, with a green spiral on the ground near its feet. The background has flat blocks of blue, green, red, and gray, with jagged lines cutting across them. The colors feel lively but the shapes are simple and blocky, almost like a child’s drawing gone wild. The figure’s pose looks like it’s in motion, but everything else is still and flat. If you like this mix of bold colors and strange shapes, look up Shirley Jaffe.
