This painting is six tall, narrow panels of pale green paper. Tiny white dots are scattered across each one, like a faint constellation. Some dots are grouped in lines, others float alone. The background is almost blank, just a soft, even shade of green. The dots look hand-drawn, made with a ballpoint pen. Each panel is slightly different—some dots are bolder, others barely there. It’s simple but feels deliberate, like a puzzle without rules. If you like this, check out Alighiero Boetti.
