Work Description:
|
A tall, dark figure rises into the left half of the composition. Surrounded by glossy black fields which fill the majority of the work, the figure was originally painted in a greenish-yellow pigment, but has been painted overpainted with a thin layer of black. Still has scraped away this thin layer of black in some places but also added a further layer of greenish-yellow pigment over the black along the lower edge, giving the figure an overall mottled, uneven appearance. A dark green form rises to the left of the figure along the work's left edge, and a yellow patch sits below the figure along the canvas' left bottom edge. Thick strokes of bright white paint outline the figure, highlighting its jagged, roughly-painted edges. This white is echoed by a thin, ghostly white form, which hangs from the top center edge and falls into the inky depths at center. Another white, hand-shaped form reaches into the scene from the upper right edge towards the figure at left. Several bright yellow spots and a single red ovoid form are scattered throughout the top right quadrant.
