This piece consists of several trapezoidal shapes and two triangles arranged together. The left most trapezoid is a darker gray than the rest of the composition, except for the red triangle at the the top. The other triangle near the bottom right contains a red number 23., Otto's special concept of slab assembly, a term coined by the painter to paraphrase his technique, utilizes the assemblage of many different paintings, each unique in itself, together to create a total image impression. Often the painter uses an occasional landscape or figurative painting as an instrument to contrast and enhance the vast repertory of geometrical shapes and to further expand the compositional impact of his work. Expressive strokes and striking colors juxtaposed throughout each assemblage also lend energy and stregth to the unusual perspective illusions and design patterns realized by the painter.
