About this work

This is a bright red square with white letters. The letters spell out "MANGA" but are jumbled—"M," "A," "N," "G," and "B" are scattered. The "Ú" and "E" sit below, like they’re falling off the page. Everything is bold and simple, no shading or curves. The letters don’t quite line up right. That’s the point—it looks like a sign that’s been messed with on purpose. The artist played with how we read things. Look up Hélio Oiticica next to see more of his work.
