About this work

This painting shows a dark figure with a blank, boxy head—like a screen—covering their face. Behind them, tangled sticks and broken masts scatter across a blue sky, mixed with striped fabric hanging like tattered banners. The colors are bold: deep blues, burnt umbers, and flashes of red where the eyes should be. The face looks like it’s wearing a mask or a screen, almost like a TV. The sticks and masts could be wreckage or a ship’s remains, but it’s hard to tell. If this style intrigues you, look up impasto.
