About this work

This painting shows two big shapes on a bright yellow background. One side is green with wavy lines and a single red circle. The other side is orange with rough edges, two white circles, and one blue circle. The artist used a printing method where the design is carved into wood, then inked and pressed onto paper. That’s why the lines look sharp and the colors are flat. Look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
