This painting is a grid of big, bold letters and shapes. Some are dark blue, some are black, and they’re all stacked in rows. The letters look like they’re cut out and glued on. The background is a light tan color. The letters don’t spell real words. They’re mixed up and overlapping in places. The artist used two colors—dark and light—to make them stand out.
