This painting is a grid of small orange letters on a solid blue background. The letters are arranged in neat rows and columns, repeating the same sequence. The colors are flat and bright, with no shading or depth. The letters spell out a pattern that looks like it could be a poem or a puzzle. The simplicity of the design makes it feel almost like a code. Next, check out Ian Hamilton Finlay to see more of his work.
