About this work

This drawing shows three empty rectangular shapes floating in space. They look like open boxes or doorways, tilted at odd angles. The background is a flat, pale blue-gray, and the lines are thin and precise, almost like a sketch. The artist used colored pencil on colored paper to create this simple but strange scene. It’s not a real building—just shapes that feel like they’re barely holding together. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Fred Sandback.
