Red and Black

This piece was made using acrylic paint, images that I found in an old art book, and a cupboard.

Black is the color of coal, ebony, and the night sky. It is the darkest color, the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light. It is the opposite of white.[1]

In the Western World, it is the color most commonly associated with mourning, the end, secrets, magic, power, violence, evil, and elegance.[2]

Red is the color of blood, a ruby, and strawberries. Next to orange at the end of the visible spectrum of light, red is commonly associated with danger, sacrifice, passion, fire, beauty, blood, and anger.
