About this work

This image shows a black-and-white building with a flat roof and stone walls. In front of it, a bright pink flower with green stems and leaves stands out sharply. The flower looks almost like it’s floating, while the background is sketchy and faded. The flower’s bold color clashes with the muted tones of the building, making it pop. The artist used a mix of screenprinting and added materials—like glitter—to create this effect. Next, check out Sigmar Polke to see more of his playful, mixed-media work.
