About this work

This drawing shows a simple black line slanting across a blank white page. At the top of the line sits a tiny, almost invisible shape—two crossed sticks or maybe a broken branch. The rest of the paper is completely empty, with no other marks or colors. The artist used just a crayon, keeping it all in black and white. The crossed sticks look almost like an afterthought, but they’re the only thing breaking the emptiness. If you like this kind of minimal art, check out Jan Groth.
