About this work

This painting is a flat white square with smaller white squares and rectangles stuck on top. The shapes are arranged in a loose grid, some overlapping, others spaced apart. The edges of the squares are sharp, and the whole thing looks like it’s floating against a plain white background. The squares aren’t painted on—this is a 3D collage. The artist glued them directly onto the wood, making them pop out slightly. Check out Lygia Pape to see more of her bold, simple work.
