This painting is all sharp angles and bold colors. You see four big shapes—two black and two bright yellow—cut by diagonal lines that make them look like they’re moving. The edges are clean, no blur or softness, just flat blocks of color with thin white lines separating them. It’s like a puzzle with only two colors. The artist used a printing method called screenprinting, which lets them repeat the design easily. That’s why the lines and shapes look so precise and even. If you like this kind of clean, geometric look, check out Georges Noël.
