This painting shows three big shapes on a light background. On the left, a black triangle sits on top of a gray rectangle. To the right, a bright yellow triangle leans sideways, with a white line cutting through it. The edges are rough and uneven, like hand-cut paper. The artist used woodcut, a printing method where shapes are carved into wood. The way the colors pop against the light background feels bold and simple. Check out the technique: woodcut to see how this print was made.
