This image features an abstract artwork with a yellow background and a series of intertwined blue and orange lines and shapes. The lines form various fragmented and surreal figures, some resembling human and animal body parts, eyes, and faces, in a dreamlike composition. The artwork has a playful yet chaotic feel, with elements that appear both organic and whimsical. The artist's signature and the edition number are visible at the bottom of the print.
A vibrant and abstract artwork featuring a chaotic blend of red and green scribbles, lines, and shapes on a white background. Central to the composition is a stylized, cartoon-like figure with exaggerated features, surrounded by various forms that suggest movement and energy. Text and additional marks are interspersed throughout, contributing to the overall sense of dynamism and disorder.
