About this work

This looks like a wild collage. A car sits in the middle, but it’s not normal—it’s made of odd shapes and colors. On top of it, there’s a ship with red flags, a clock, and a giant eye. People in strange outfits stand around, some holding guns or tools. The words on the car are in another language. The artist glued together paper, paint, and photos to make this. It feels like a mix of old and new things smashed together. Check out gouache to see how artists use this paint.
