Untitled

Description
-
Viscous, coagulated handfuls of black and blue paint heaped onto and smeared, in sweeping, winding strokes, across a light-coloured backdrop consisting of patchy daubs of white and grey paint and short, broken, hastily blended brushstrokes. The black strokes were likely created using the artist's fingers, hands, and arms. Thin trails and small splatters of black paint have been flung onto the canvas.
