Description

A pale, elongated hand-like column rises against a flat charcoal-grey ground, its fingers splayed into pale nude legs and arms tipped with red-painted nails. Astride this form, a green demon-like winged creature with large mustard-yellow bat wings and clawed hands grips the white limbs, its body interlocking with the twisting pale figures. The palette is limited to grey, white, mustard-yellow, and green with small red accents; a printed edition number and pencil signature appear in the lower corners. Silkscreen, "Hell," Hideo Takeda, 2000.
