About this work

This painting shows a bright green shape with a pink circle inside it. Inside the pink circle is a face—just two black eyes and a mouth—surrounded by swirls of blue, yellow, and red. The colors are flat and bold, with no shading to make them look real. The face looks like it’s trapped inside the colored layers, almost like a puzzle piece. The artist used simple shapes and strong colors to make it stand out. Next, check out Gernot Bubenik to see more of his bold, graphic work.
