About this work

This painting is all straight lines and bold colors. There’s a big red X cutting across a white square, with two green half-circles stacked on top. The top half has a thin red line inside the circles, and the bottom half has a white stripe running through the X. The artist used screenprinting, which means the image was stenciled and pressed onto paper. That’s why the colors look so flat and sharp. Look up lithography next to see how it’s different from screenprinting.
