About this work

This painting looks like shapes cut from paper and glued down. There’s a big black circle with a white line through it. Around it are odd shapes—some look like wheels, others like boxes. The colors are mostly brown, beige, and a little gray. The whole thing sits on a light background. The artist used scissors and glue to build this. It’s not drawn—it’s made from real pieces of paper. Next, check out Robert Michel to see more of his cut-paper work.
