About this work
Bust-length portrait of a pale young woman with dark eyes and bright red lips, painted with minimal facial detail against a near-blank ground. Below her chin, her shoulders and chest are filled with a dense, all-over pattern of stylized cat faces in green, orange, yellow, blue-gray, and red, each outlined in heavy black. A dark navy garment with drips of paint occupies the lower edge of the composition.
The contrast between the sparsely modeled face and the saturated, densely packed cats gives the picture a graphic, poster-like energy. Thick, flat strokes of pure color sit beside confident black contour lines, while the bare cardboard ground reads as both skin and background. The effect is playful and faintly surreal.
