Subject

D Tractor page 15: MINT SALAD finds a worm hanging out of a man's mouth and the whole field comes apart into short balloons. Private driveway. Move different. Bad faith critique. Forklift. Print 50k more. Whats your favorite part? Detractor. We will win. A phone goes up in the middle of it with the chat still running, and a man in a yellow vest comes for it with his jaw hanging off.

Composition

Two panels stacked, the upper a row of heads at close range, the lower a deep landscape with the tablet small at its centre and the crowd closing in from both edges. The scale break between them is the page's whole structure.

Palette

Emerald and lime through the field against the cold blue of the sky, with the hats and shirts in vermilion, turquoise and magenta.

Handling

Watercolour over ink, the foreground heads modelled and the crowd painted as repeated flat shapes so a hundred figures stay legible. The screens are the only hard-edged objects.

Medium and support

Watercolour and ink on paper.

Signature

Signed with the artist's handle at the lower left.
