About this work

This painting shows three simple, blocky figures in bright colors. One figure stands alone, arms raised, while the other two stand close together, their arms linked. Below them is a big red shape with a curved orange form inside, like a bowl or a cradle. The figures look like they’re made of flat, solid colors with sharp edges. The red shape might be a womb or a nest, but it’s not clear. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
