This painting shows smooth, bright circles stacked inside each other. The colors are simple: a pale yellow ring, then a soft blue, then a thick black circle in the middle. The background is a light beige, and the whole thing looks flat and clean. The black ring is the darkest part, making the colors around it pop. The circles don’t overlap perfectly—they’re slightly off-center, which feels intentional. Next, check out Kenneth Noland to see how he played with shapes and colors.
