About this work

This print is big, bold, and mostly red. It has a simple shape—like a diamond on a flag—but the colors are intense. The edges look sharp and clean, not fuzzy or blended. It comes from a series called *The Hartley Elegies*, inspired by an earlier artist. The shapes are simple but the meaning is open. You’re supposed to notice the color and form first. Give it a quick search for *chiaroscuro* if you want to see how light and shadow can change a simple shape.
