This painting shows a bright, geometric shape made of overlapping strips of paper. The colors are bold—reds, blues, yellows, and greens—stacked in a rough octagon. The edges look uneven, like someone cut and glued the pieces by hand. The artist used simple materials: paper, paint, and crayon. It’s not smooth—every piece shows brushstrokes or scribbles, making it feel raw and unfinished. Next, look up Alan Shields to see how he built more work like this.
