Janus
1969

This is a vibrant abstract print featuring a chaotic composition of various shapes, symbols, and colors. Dominant hues of purple, red, yellow, and black create a dynamic background, with elements resembling eyes, faces, and organic forms scattered throughout. The artwork has a raw, expressive quality, with some areas suggesting graffiti or primitive art influences. The bottom of the image includes what appears to be the artist's signature and possibly a date.
