About this work

This print is mostly flat colors. On the left, a wide brown band takes up half the space. To the right, a deep purple strip runs from top to bottom. In the top right corner, three small rectangles show abstract shapes—black, white, and a mix of gold and pink. The edges are clean, and the whole thing looks like it was made with blocks of ink. The artist used different printing methods to layer textures. Some areas look smooth, while others feel slightly raised or fuzzy. The mix of colors and shapes feels deliberate, even if it’s not clear what it’s supposed to represent. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
