About this work

This painting shows two rough, uneven shapes leaning against each other. One is a deep red-brown, the other a dark gray-blue. The edges are jagged, like torn paper, and the background is a pale, uneven off-white with faint smudges. The shapes look like they’re made from cut-up cardstock, with some thin lines where the paper might have been folded or glued. The colors mix unevenly at the edges, blending in a way that feels messy but intentional. Check out Roni Horn for more work like this.
