Untitled is a 1996 gouache by Tomma Abts, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a bunch of round shapes with spiky red lines around them. Some of the circles are dark blue with bright green dots. Others are a light tan color. The spiky lines look like they’re radiating outward, almost like bursts of energy or fireworks. The artist used a smooth, flat style—no shading or depth, just bold colors. The green dots on the blue circles stand out sharply against the background. Try looking up gouache next to see how this soft, water-based paint works.
Tomma Abts (born 26 December 1967) is a German-born visual artist known for her abstract oil paintings. Abts won the Turner Prize in 2006. She currently lives and works in London, England.
