About this work

This painting shows a big blue letter Q on a green and white striped background. The stripes run horizontally, and the Q is slightly tilted. The blue is solid and thick, while the green and white bands are flat and clean. The artist used woodcut, which means they carved the design into wood and stamped it. The simple shapes and bold colors make it feel modern and straightforward. Check out woodcut to see how artists create prints this way.
