Carre bleu et noir — Fine Art

Carre bleu et noir - 1980 sets two colour shapes against each other on a plain sheet. A blue field rests beside a black one, with a soft edge where they meet. The blue sits cooler and the black carries more weight. The title names the two colours and the year.

The picture is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel, sent assembled when the ready to hang option is used. The matte paper holds the blue without shine, so the two tones read clearly under a lamp.

It sits on a bedroom wall above a wooden chair, seen from the foot of the bed. From that distance the blue and black read as two quiet blocks, and the room feels steady.
