About this work

This painting shows a dark, shadowy figure with glowing red marks. The hands are covered in a rough, textured material. The background is mostly blue and brown, with a fuzzy, uneven edge. The red spots look like they were made by burning or charring. The artist used unusual materials—like asbestos and resin—to create this effect. Look up Yves Klein next to see more of his work.
