About this work

This print is mostly black, white, and blue. Sharp shapes float on a light background. One big blue-black shape sits tilted, like a box on its side. A thin red line cuts across the right side. Some jagged black marks look like torn paper. The artist used a mix of clean lines and rough edges. The black shapes feel heavy, while the white space stays open. Look up lithography to see how prints like this are made.
