About this work

This painting shows a mix of sharp angles and soft curves. Dark shapes cut across light blues and a deep red oval. The lines twist and overlap, creating a sense of movement even though nothing is moving. The red circle stands out against the jagged black and white forms. It looks like a face or an object, but it’s not clear which. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
