This painting looks like an unopened box with a blue flap on the left. Inside, there’s a brown paper surface with four bright shapes: a red square, an orange circle, a white triangle, and a small white rectangle. Above them sits a colorful, striped 3D box tilted like it’s floating. The artist used everyday materials—like stamps and spray paint—to make it. The shapes are simple, but the way they’re arranged feels a little off-kilter, like someone just tossed them in. Next, check out gouache to see how this paint works.
