Tabboo!

Sally Bowles
1982

An abstract painting on a stained beige background featuring a stylized, smiling female figure with exaggerated features. The figure has a large, dark brushstroke for hair, a prominent red smile, and a sweeping black garment or body shape that dominates the lower portion of the artwork. The style is loose and expressive, with visible drips and splatters of black ink.
