GDS /50
1996

A vibrant and colorful mixed media collage featuring an array of patterns, textures, and abstract shapes. Splashes of paint, pieces of patterned paper, and various forms of mark-making create a dynamic and layered composition. The artwork is rich in reds, blues, greens, and yellows, with visible brushstrokes and drips adding to the chaotic yet harmonious visual effect.
