About this work

This painting is a square etching with a beige background and a central design of seven black triangles pointing downward. The triangles are arranged in a zigzag pattern, with each one overlapping the one below it. The edges of the triangles are rough and textured, giving the piece a dynamic feel. The etching technique used in this piece creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the black ink standing out against the beige background. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the triangles are in motion. To learn more about the artist's use of etching, explore the technique of etching.
