About this work

This painting looks like a dark room split in half. One side is a deep black, the other a mix of gray and white. A thin white line runs down the middle, separating the two. The edges are rough, like torn paper, and some parts show brushstrokes or smudges. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone. That’s why the colors look uneven—some areas are thick, others faint. Check out how this artist made lithography.
