The work features two black ovals held together with nails against the background of white plywood. The ovals are ready to expand beyond the edge of the picture. The blue rectangle tries to check the expansion, and the tension creates cracks. Although the elements employed here are geometric, the composition does not make them cozily nestled within the limited space. The irregular and whimsical drill marks and uneven application of color give the work a sense of relaxed humor, which is characteristic of this artist who has also taken interest in Dadaism and Surrealism.
