About this work

This image is a simple square inside another square. The outer shape is a pale gray frame around a darker gray background. Inside that, a thick black border creates a hollow window-like shape, also gray inside. The edges of the black lines are uneven, like hand-drawn marks. The artist made this using a printing method called screenprinting. It’s part of a set of four similar works. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create drama in other art.
