About this work

This painting shows four tall stripes of color side by side. The leftmost is a warm yellow-orange, then a deep black, followed by a soft blue, and finally a muted brownish-pink on the right. The edges are clean and straight, with no brushstrokes or texture—just smooth, flat color. The blue stripe is the narrowest, almost like a thin line between the black and yellow. The colors don’t blend—they sit next to each other sharply, with no shadows or light playing between them. Look up Fanny Sanin to see how she uses color this way.
