About this work

This print is split into bold blocks of color. On the left, a pink heart shape holds a dark figure with a phone to their ear. Next to it, a red clover shape frames another figure, also in shadow. Below, two more blocks show more silhouettes—one in pink, one in red—with simple shapes like windows or doors behind them. The artist used screenprinting, a method that layers ink through stencils. The dark outlines and flat colors make everything look sharp and graphic. Look up Joel Smith next to see more of his bold, colorful prints.
