Title: Untitled
Description: This abstract, gestural painting consists of thick, lumpy, granular handfuls of black paint heaped onto the canvas and smeared across the surface using the artist's fingers, creating a wild, dynamic mass of winding, looping lines strokes set against a red backdrop. Small amounts of red and white have been mixed into the black paint. Bits of black paint have been splattered and flung across the canvas, adding to the textured, viscerally tactile surface.
