About this work

This painting features a unique composition, with a light-colored background that resembles wood grain. The top half of the canvas is torn, revealing a lighter shade underneath. A teal shape is visible beneath the tear, adding a pop of color to the piece. The artist's use of torn paper and wood grain texture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The teal shape adds a touch of contrast to the otherwise muted palette. If you're interested in exploring more of Richard Tuttle's work, you can find his pieces at The Museum of Modern Art.
