About this work

This painting shows two overlapping circles on a light background. The bigger one is split into red and black halves, with a yellowish curve behind it. The smaller circle has a red and gray split, and both shapes cast faint shadows. The surface looks rough, almost scratched. The circles don’t look painted—they’re on a material that’s been cut or damaged. The artist used oil paint on something called plexiglass, which is a type of plastic. Look up glazing to see how artists use thin, transparent layers of paint.
