About this work

This painting shows a simple black shape on a white, grid-covered background. The black looks like a corner of a room with three walls and a floor, but it’s flat and geometric. The edges are sharp, and the grid behind it makes the whole thing look precise. The artist used graph paper as the canvas, which is unusual. The black shape is made with gouache, a matte paint that doesn’t shine. Next, look up gouache to see how it works.
