About this work

This drawing shows two oval shapes stacked like a cross, with a horizontal bar cutting through them. The shapes look like they’re made of rough pencil strokes and ink, with some smooth, flat colors inside. Tiny circles line up in the middle of the bar, and the whole thing sits on a light background framed in a brown border. The artist used a mix of sketchy lines and flat colors to make it feel both solid and a little fuzzy. The title isn’t helpful, but the way the shapes overlap suggests it’s more about balance than realism. Check out gouache to see how artists use that paint-like medium.
