Description
-
Handfuls of black paint are slathered onto the canvas in quick, forceful, looping, intersecting strokes. Small amounts of the same black are flung over the work, creating splatters, while parallel lines, etched into the surface of medium using the artist's fingers, bear witness to his vigorous gestures, revealing the white paint beneath the black.

Discolouration; white paint appears brown. Craquelure. Paint flaking. Dust and dirt. Tears at the corners and along the edges, where the canvas has been nailed into the stretcher. A tear within the top left quadrant; patched up on the reverse. One of the beams of the stretcher has come loose. Handle with care. Insect droppings. White droplets over the surface of the work.
