About this work

This print shows a black triangular shape split into two parts by a white line. Inside, there are jagged red, blue, and green lines that look like cracks or bursts of light. The background is plain white, making the colors inside stand out sharply. The title *SOFA Dart* hints it might be inspired by something everyday—maybe even a dart hitting a couch. The bright colors contrast with the dark shapes, giving it an electric feel. If you like this style, check out Dawson, Neil.
