About this work
Two overlapping female faces fill the canvas, one with grey-white hair tilted back and eyes closed, the other with golden-brown hair turned toward the viewer, shoulders wrapped in reddish-orange fabric; the background is scattered with dabs of yellow, blue and green like confetti or stage lights.
Applied with a palette knife in thick, ridged layers, the vivid clashing colors of red, ochre, green and blue mimic theatrical greasepaint and colored footlights; the loose, urgent brushwork and tight framing give the scene a charged, dramatic intensity.
