About this work

This painting is all sharp lines and bright colors. A big red diamond sits in the middle, made of thin stripes that point outward like arrows. Green lines frame the edges, while lighter lines fan out from the bottom corners, meeting at a tiny blue dot. The artist used a printing trick to layer colors and shapes. The result looks almost like light bouncing off a prism. Look up lithography next to see how this technique works.
