IN ESSENCE minimal art


Life seems to reside in the most simplest of forms. Simple forms like the seed and womb carry the universe within them. The grain of soil , sheet of rain drops , veins of a leaf , the spiral shell, the sun , moon ,earth, the most simplest of forms , hold the most vital elements of life .The geometric, organic patterns in nature seem to contain multiple meanings , allusions , illusions. Stripped to its essentials, the naked truth unarmed , without lengthy storylines , contained yet pervasive , controlled ,regulated yet liberated , Minimal art genre was the answer to these artists . They wanted to lay in bare essentials, of line, form, colour, light, texture, a larger experience. To uncover simple truths with unpretentious austerity are these drawings, paintings, sculptures, etchings, relief’s done in minimal art practice.
