About this work

This painting shows bold blocks of color stacked unevenly. There’s a mix of blue, black, red, and brown shapes—some look like they’re leaning or overlapping. The background has a textured, grainy look, like wood or paper. The edges of the colors are sharp, with no smooth blending. The artist used a simple tool to carve the design into wood, then printed it. That’s why the lines and colors look so clean and flat. Next, check out how this woodcut technique works.
