About this work

This painting is twelve blank squares arranged in a grid. Each square is a sheet of paper with a thin, pale layer of color—mostly white and soft beige. The edges of the paper show through, and the lines between squares are faint but clear. The artist used simple materials: acrylic paint on paper. The whole thing looks quiet and precise, like a puzzle without missing pieces. Next, check out Robert Ryman.
