About this work

This painting shows four dark brown rectangles of different sizes stacked in a loose line. Below them, five bright yellow rectangles sit at angles, overlapping slightly. The background is plain white, and the whole thing looks like flat shapes cut out and glued down. The artist used a printing method called screenprinting, which lets colors sit flat without brush strokes. The mix of dark and bright colors feels bold but simple.
