About the Item
This painting, created with oil on canvas, combines abstract shapes and gestural line work that suggest figures, landscapes, and cartoon elements. The thick layers of paint reveal the spontaneous, energetic approach taken in its creation. Areas of space are carved with palette knives and wiped with rags, showcasing a dynamic process of destruction and re-creation throughout the piece. The bold colors and rich texture of the oil paint impart a sense of vibrancy, infusing the artwork—and the space it inhabits—with excitement and energy.
This painting is signed on the back.
