This is a flat, light-colored box with a few odd things inside. At the top, there’s a small, crumpled white paper. Below it, a big blob of pale yellowish paint sits like a smudged stain. The paint looks soft and uneven, not sharp. A thin strip of paper with writing is tucked under it. The yellow blob might be dried correction fluid—like liquid paper. It’s not a clear picture, but that’s the point. The artist made something messy on purpose. Look up Antoni Llena next. He played with simple, strange shapes like this.
