Jackson Pollock

Untitled

A black and white abstract painting featuring a chaotic arrangement of figures and shapes that appear to be in a dynamic, possibly confrontational, scene. The artwork is characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes and a stark contrast between the dark background and the lighter figures.
