About this work

This painting is a wild mix of bright colors and odd shapes. Big orange blobs fill most of the space, with purple outlines and white lines everywhere. Some shapes look like buildings, others like squiggles or faces. The background is a flat green, and tiny red dots pop up here and there. The artist used a printing trick to make these bold, flat colors. The lines are sharp, and the whole thing feels like a puzzle. Look up lithography to see how this was made.
