About this work

This painting shows sharp black and red shapes stacked like blocks. The darkest triangles lean against a red square, while lighter gray lines fill the gaps. The edges are crisp, and the whole thing looks carved out of paper. The artist used a tool to cut into wood, then inked it to make this print. That’s how the lines got so clean and the colors so bold. Next, check out woodcut to see how this technique works.
