About this work

This painting is all sharp angles and bright colors. A big black diamond sits in the middle, with smaller squares inside it—red, green, blue, and yellow. The outer edges are split into red, green, and black strips, like a puzzle piece. Everything is clean and flat, no shadows or curves. The artist used a printing method that lets colors sit side by side without blending. This piece is one of many the artist made using different techniques. Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
