About this work

This painting shows four simple trees with flat green tops and black trunks. The ground is a bright yellow, and the sky is pale blue with a faint line where water meets land. The shapes are bold and clean, with no small details. The trees look like they’re cut out and pasted on—no leaves or shadows to soften them. This style is called *screenprinting*, where ink is pushed through a stencil. Next, check out Julian Opie to see how he simplifies other subjects.
