This painting shows a few thick, white loops and circles on a plain light background. The shapes look like they’re made of rope or string, with some overlapping. The edges are rough, almost like they were drawn with a brush dipped in thick paint. The artist used real cord glued onto the canvas, then painted over it. That’s why the lines feel uneven and textured. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for a 3D effect.
