About this work

This painting is a square with a rough, white center. The center is surrounded by a border of waxed paper, held in place by masking tape. The paper is slightly yellowed and has a few wrinkles. The painting is very simple, with no obvious subject or message. It's not trying to tell a story or show off the artist's skills. Instead, it's more about the materials and textures used to create it. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to check out the work of Robert Ryman.
