This print shows two simple, blocky figures sitting side by side. They’re orange against a green background, with thick black outlines. One holds a round object like a plate, the other rests a hand on their knee. The shapes are flat, with no shading—just bold colors and sharp edges. The artist used a method where ink is pushed through a screen onto paper, creating clean, graphic shapes. This style avoids realistic details, focusing instead on strong shapes and colors. Look up Luis Seoane to see how he played with simple forms in his other work.
