1983 — Fine Art

The title 1983 points to a date, and the work follows the idea of a grid that Alighiero Boetti used in his practice. Rows and columns sit on the sheet and the pattern repeats across the surface. The marks stay even and the field holds them in place.

The fine art frame finishes in white, wood, dark wood or black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A white finish keeps the grid open and lets the lines read plainly. A black finish sets the field apart and keeps the rows separate.

On a study wall the grid reads as a set of measured bands, and from a desk chair you notice how each row lines up with the next. The room stays calm while the pattern fills the view.
