The painting titled 'Arithmetic' explores the geometric simplicity of a square, emphasizing its regular quadrilateral nature with four equal sides and right angles. The artwork may evoke the precise, mathematical qualities associated with algebra, such as the concept of squaring a number to find area. Through sketch and study, the artist investigates the fundamental properties of shapes, perhaps integrating influences from Cubism to deconstruct and reassemble form. As with all geometric forms, the painting invites viewers to consider the harmony between form and mathematical principles.
