Four Squares in Exile – Textured Cardboard Wall Art on Plywood | Olshbau

A white square—quiet, restrained. On it, four bold color blocks: orange, maroon, navy, and sky blue. They do not align perfectly, yet their imbalance feels deliberate.

Each smaller square is hand-cut from frayed, layered cardboard, revealing the raw beauty of its edges. Their raised forms cast soft shadows, hinting at a tension between material and geometry.

Inspired by Suprematism and Bauhaus principles, this piece explores the emotional weight of form, color, and emptiness. Mounted on a white plywood base (25 x 25 cm / 9 7/8” x 9 7/8”), it invites stillness, thought, and subtle confrontation.

Handmade by Olshbau. No two pieces are alike.
