This painting looks like a long, narrow shape made of thin strips of paper. The colors are bright—yellow, green, blue, and black—arranged in diagonal layers. Some strips overlap, creating a sense of depth. The edges are clean, and the whole thing sits against a plain white background. The artist cut and pasted these pieces together, then added watercolor washes. The way the colors blend suggests layers of paint built up slowly. It’s not a picture of anything real—just shapes and colors playing together. If you like this kind of abstract work, check out Isa Genzken.
