About this work

This painting is split into two parts with bold, flat colors. Bright yellows, deep reds, and cool blues fill the canvas in sharp, clean rectangles. Some sections overlap, while others sit side by side with thin white lines separating them. The colors feel bold but not messy—each shape stands alone. The painting is made of oil on canvas, which lets the paint sit thickly in places. Next, check out impasto, the technique used here.
