About this work

This painting features a large, light gray square as its central element. The square is bordered by two thin black rectangles, each outlined in green, which are positioned vertically along the left and right edges of the canvas. The background of the painting is a solid, light gray color. The use of simple shapes and a limited color palette creates a sense of calmness and serenity in the painting. The black rectangles add a touch of contrast and depth to the composition, while the green outlines provide a subtle pop of color. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up Jo Baer.
