About this work

This is a stepped, zigzag-shaped collage of bright images. You see a yellow box with a city skyline and text, then layers of black-and-white and color photos of airplanes, bridges, and buildings. The colors pop—reds, blues, and neon yellows—with sharp lines and bold shapes. The artist cut and stacked these images like a puzzle, making them overlap in an uneven way. It’s not a painting but a mix of printed photos and paper, glued together. If you like this mix of bold colors and cut-out shapes, look up Joe Tilson.
