Original artwork description:

This work continues my experiments with minimalist, reductive, and geometric iconography. Trusting my intuition, I started the composition based on a two-inch grid. Delineating boxes or steps and restricting myself to seven colors. In the end, it seemed like a puzzle, hence the title.

I relate to painting as if it were a dance, trying to understand new steps between color and geometry. There are never any hints of gestures or marks. The paintings are distilled, austere, and elegant. The work is firmly planted in the Minimalist, Reductive, Geometric, and Hard Edge Schools of painting. This work was painted on a smooth gesso wood panel and cradled with New Zealand pine with a depth of 2 inches. The composition wraps around the edges, so there is no need for framing. Finished with two coats of satin varnish. Ready to hang. Signed, titled, and dated on the back.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint, matte medium, gesso, satin varnish
