This painting looks like a bunch of random colored paper shapes glued onto white paper. The pieces are different sizes and shapes—some are long and skinny, others are wide and flat. Colors include bright blues, greens, browns, yellows, and a few silvery bits. The edges are uneven, like someone cut them with scissors. The artist made this by painting paper first, then cutting and pasting the pieces. It’s not trying to look like anything real—just shapes and colors together. If you like this style, check out Imi Knoebel.
