This painting is a large piece of paper with a black-and-white image of blinds. The blinds are closed, and the slats are thin and evenly spaced. The image is made up of many thin strips of paper that have been cut and pasted onto the larger sheet. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to create the image. This involves layering thin lines on top of each other to create texture and depth. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. If you like this piece, you might also enjoy the work of Marcel Odenbach.
