This room looks like it’s made of bold colors and simple shapes. A bright yellow wall surrounds a blue doorway, where a small dog sits inside. To the right, a red couch with a blue outline faces a striped floor. A yellow blanket with brown spots lies on the floor, and a small picture of a hand holding something hangs on the wall. The artist used cut-paper shapes to build the scene, like a puzzle. The colors are flat and bright, with no shadows to make things look real. Check out Isami Doi to see more of his cut-paper art.
