Striped Object Painting

Stripes from bright red to dark brown build up this painting. Stripes growing up from a flat ground into a three dimensional object. Arrived at the top they grow back down into the formed cuboid, thus creating a hollow sculptural body. It is an exploring of the possibilities of the flat and the three dimensional representation with hard edge painting style. I deliberately didn't apply object shadows to keep it pure geometrical. With the various red tones (bright red to dark red, from left to right) I made the body stand out partially off the striped flat backdrop. The artwork is signed and dated on the backside and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
