The title of this painting is further irony by the artist. The dispersed brushstrokes, the blurred blotches of colour and the play of graphics with small shapes, tracks, outlines and dots scattered in an apparently anarchistic way make up a well-adjusted composition in which a wisely organised order prevails. The artist’s skills with colour, characterised by his use of a few well-chosen tones, provides this work with unexpected echoes of the Levantine painting of this century.
