About this work

This print shows two faces back-to-back, split down the middle by a rainbow stripe. The left face is set against a red-to-blue gradient, while the right face sits in black and gray. Both faces are simple outlines with no eyes, nose, or mouth—just smooth shapes. The artist used flat colors and clean lines, making it feel almost like a puzzle. The rainbow stripe between the faces is the only thing connecting them. If you like this, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
