About this work

This painting shows bold blocks of color arranged in a circle. There are six black shapes—like stretched fingers—around a bright yellow center. The background is mostly blue with rough edges, and the whole thing looks painted in thick, uneven strokes. The black shapes all face outward, as if pushing against the yellow. The edges of the colors blend slightly, but the lines stay sharp. This print was made in 1994 by pressing ink through a screen. Look up Claude Viallat to see more of his bold, geometric work.
