Red Planet is a 2008 by Kirsten Schmidt, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a big red circle in the center against a blue background. Thin, gold lines branch out around it like roots or vines, fading into the blue. The edges of the paper look worn, with some fraying at the bottom. The red circle stands out sharply against the softer blue, making it feel like a glowing object. The gold lines add a delicate, almost glowing effect to the whole piece. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The composition consists of concentric shapes, featuring a red circle placed over a blue-grey square adorned with gold foliage patterns, which is then set against a larger pale blue square centered on the sheet.
