This painting looks like a bold red rectangle with thick black lines cutting across it. The lines make sharp angles and zigzags, breaking up the red into uneven shapes. The edges are rough, and the paint looks slightly textured, like it was applied with a brush or even a knife. The black lines don’t form anything real—they’re just shapes, almost like a maze or a puzzle. The red background feels thick and slightly uneven, as if the artist didn’t smooth it out. If you like this style, look up Erich Buchholz for more work like this.
