About this work

This image shows a simple black rectangle floating against a white background. Below it, a thin white strip runs horizontally, with a jagged edge where it meets the black shape. The paper itself has faint texture marks, like soft scratches. The black and white contrast makes the shapes stand out sharply. The rough edge where the white strip meets the black rectangle adds a small, unexpected detail. Next, check out lithography to see how artists use similar flat surfaces to create prints.
