This is a bright, geometric kite shape made of flat colors. The top is black with a pink edge, the sides are blue and red stripes, and the tail is a thin blue line. The colors are bold and clean, with no shading or blending. The kite’s simple shape and strong colors feel modern. It’s built on a wooden frame, covered with stretched canvas, and painted with smooth, synthetic paint. Next, look up Charles Hinman to see more of his bold, colorful work.
