About this work

This painting shows flat blocks of color stacked unevenly. There’s a brown rectangle at the top, a yellow one below it, and two blue strips overlapping in the middle. The bottom half is a soft purple wash, with a thin black line at the very bottom. The colors feel simple but don’t quite line up perfectly. The brushstrokes are light, almost like watercolor stains. It’s not trying to look like anything real—just shapes and colors side by side. If you like this kind of abstract work, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
