About this work

This painting shows six tall, narrow buildings stacked in two rows of three. Each building has bright, flat colors—pink, orange, blue—and simple shapes like doors and windows. The background is a warm brown, and the whole scene feels like a grid of houses. The buildings look like they’re made from blocks of color, not realistic details. The artist used felt-tip pens, which gives it a bold, sketchy feel. Next, check out Betty Parsons.
