About this work

This watercolor shows a black shape on a white background. It looks simple, almost like a shadow. But it’s not a shadow—just deep black watercolor on paper. Michou painted this in 1982. He used watercolor in a way that feels fresh. The black isn’t flat. It shifts under light, like wet ink soaking into the paper. His work often mixes geometry with feeling. This piece is part of a series where he played with dark colors and bold shapes. See more at Michou, Sotirios (1936-2010).
