This painting is a flat, bright blue background covered in tiny red dots. The dots are evenly spaced, creating a grid that fills the whole canvas. There’s no shadow, depth, or figure—just color and pattern. The dots look hand-painted, each one slightly different in size or shape. The effect is simple but bold, like a close-up of a starry night sky turned into a wall. Check out François Morellet to see more of his playful, rule-based art.
