About this work

This painting is all sharp black rectangles on a white background. The shapes are stacked unevenly, some leaning or floating slightly off-grid. The edges feel rough, like the pastel and charcoal were rubbed in by hand. The black areas look almost like shadows or gaps, while the white parts glow faintly. The whole thing has a gritty texture, like chalk dust. If you like this kind of bold, simple shapes, check out pastel as a technique.
