About this work

This painting is mostly white with two bold colors. A red rectangle sits inside a white triangle. A tiny black square is tucked in the corner. The lines are clean and sharp. The red shape looks like it’s floating. The artist used paper and paint to build this simple scene. It feels strange but balanced. If you like this, check out gouache to see how artists use it.
