This painting shows two yellow squares on a light background. The squares are framed like windows, but they’re not real—they’re just painted. Around them, you can see faded newspaper text, like headlines and small print, peeking through. The artist used real newspaper as the base, then painted over it. The yellow squares stand out against the worn, grayish paper, making them feel flat and simple. Next, look up Gary Hume to see how he plays with color and everyday materials.
