This painting shows bold black lines crisscrossing a light background. Two big shapes stand out: one red triangle on top and one blue triangle below. The lines overlap in the middle, creating a tangled, almost chaotic space. The artist used simple shapes and colors to make something that feels both busy and balanced. The lines look like they’re cutting through the shapes, but everything stays flat and clean. Next, check out lithography to see how other artists use similar flat, precise lines.
