About this work

This painting shows a bright red square with a target-like design inside. The target has three rings—yellow in the center, blue in the middle, and another blue ring around that. The edges look rough, like the paint was applied with a brush or even a sponge. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to create something that feels both familiar and unexpected. The messy edges make it look like it was made quickly, almost like a doodle. If you like this, check out lithography to see how artists print images this way.
