About this work

This painting is made of black lines and shapes on a white background. The lines form a grid with empty squares, but some squares are filled with jagged black strips. The strips look torn or uneven, breaking up the clean grid. Some lines are thick, others thin, and a few are slightly off-center. The artist used a printing method where ink is pressed onto paper through a flat surface. This makes each piece slightly different, like a stamp but less precise. Look up lithography to see how it works.
