About this work

This painting shows a simple square shape divided into bold colors. The outer edges are blue, with a thick red border at the bottom. Inside, there’s a smaller red square, and inside that, three bright yellow rectangles stacked vertically. The paint looks smooth but slightly uneven, like it was brushed on quickly. The yellow rectangles look like they’re floating in the red space. The colors are flat with no shading, and the edges aren’t perfectly straight—just rough around the borders. If you like this kind of clean, bold art, check out Peter Halley.
