Micro-Painting 1968

"Micro-Painting" (1968) by Gene Davis is a minimalist work characterized by a single, vibrant red circle against a cool teal background. This piece exemplifies Davis's signature style of geometric abstraction, emphasizing bold color combinations and simple shapes. The contrasting colors create a dynamic tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the central circle and highlighting the artist's exploration of color relationships. The limited palette and minimalist composition showcase Davis's commitment to purity and clarity in his work.
