Untitled
1988

This is an abstract artwork featuring a grid of six squares, each with a unique combination of dark and vibrant colors, and various shapes and forms that resemble parts of faces and objects. The top row shows three dark squares with abstract shapes, while the bottom row includes a nail and two depictions of a face with a green patterned element, possibly a hat or hair. The background is predominantly purple, and the artwork is signed and dated in the bottom right corner.
