Boy in Corridor
1985

A painting depicting a young child standing in front of a dark, textured doorway that resembles an elevator, with the child wearing a jacket with a "NY" logo. The overall color palette is dark with shades of brown and black, and the painting style appears thick and expressive, suggesting a heavy application of paint.
