About this work

This painting is mostly one flat, pale yellow color with a soft glow. The edges are framed by a thin, uneven line of green and a tiny splash of red at the corners. The whole thing looks like it was made with simple, loose strokes—no sharp details or clear shapes. The artist used a tool called a dremel to scratch into the surface, creating the border. It’s like they took a power tool and drew with it, which is unusual for a painting. If you like this kind of bold, simple color, look up Jules Olitski next.
