About this work

This print shows two big, blocky figures tangled together. They’re mostly red and blue, with lots of stripes and sharp edges. One figure’s arm wraps around the other’s waist, and there’s a tiny stick-figure person standing between them, almost hidden. The figures look like they’re made of simple shapes—circles, squares, and lines—without much detail. The colors are flat, not blended, and the whole thing feels a bit like a child’s drawing gone wild. If you like this style, check out Jean Dubuffet.
