About this work

This painting is made of bold, flat shapes. A big black letter *P* leans sideways, with a white circle inside it. Below, two dark triangles sit on a white band, and the background is a mix of red, gray, and black. The edges are clean, like cut paper. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone instead of brushes. That’s why the lines look so sharp and the colors feel solid.
