No Title (This must go…)
2005

A vibrant abstract painting with dynamic brushstrokes in various colors, predominantly featuring shades of blue, red, yellow, and black. The composition is energetic and appears spontaneous, with some areas suggesting forms or figures. At the bottom, there's handwritten text that reads, "THIS MUST GO MORE OR LESS ON — IT MUST IN FACT GO ON FOR 2 OR 3 HUNDRED YEARS OR MORE."
