Square — Fine Art

Square - 1969 by Hiroyuki Tajima uses hard edges to hold a quiet field of tone. The colour sits flat against the rest of the sheet, with each band keeping its own weight. You see the shape before the surface.

A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel keeps those edges sharp and the tones even. The matte surface holds the flat colour without shine, so the square reads as a clear block from any distance.

On a narrow hallway wall the print brings a steady shape to the walk. From the bend in the corridor you notice the dark band first, then the lighter tone beside it as you step forward.
