Red Grooms

Canal Street Molls
1975

A vibrant, expressionist painting depicting two stylized female figures with exaggerated features, wearing colorful, oversized sunglasses and bold, patterned clothing. They stand against a backdrop of urban signage and buildings, with a collage-like floor scattered with various items. The figures appear to be in mid-conversation, with one holding a cigarette. The artwork is rich in texture and color, with a dynamic, almost cartoonish quality.
