About this work

This painting looks like a giant, tangled knot made of stripes. The colors are mostly red, blue, and white, arranged in repeating patterns that twist and overlap. It’s hard to tell where one shape starts or ends—the whole thing feels like a puzzle without clear edges. The stripes create a sense of movement, even though nothing is actually moving. It’s like looking at a maze of lines that somehow form a single, swirling shape. If you like this kind of abstract art, check out Thomas Bayrle.
