Untitled 1971

Here we have an untitled work by Jeremy Moon, composed of acrylic paint. The painting presents a tightly structured grid, defined by stark horizontal black lines and vibrant vertical yellow bands against a white ground. This interplay evokes a sense of visual tension, perhaps unsettling our expectations of spatial harmony. Moon's exploration of geometric abstraction engages with the language of Minimalism. The clean lines and flat planes of color emphasize the material properties of the paint and canvas, while the composition challenges fixed perspectives. The carefully calibrated arrangement invites the viewer to actively engage with the artwork. Are we looking at a window, a building, or a game of tic-tac-toe? The use of basic geometric forms and primary colors reduces the artwork to its essential components. The relationship between figure and ground, positive and negative space, becomes a focal point for contemplation. This focus not only invites aesthetic appreciation, but also serves as a catalyst for questioning our perception. The structure, seemingly simple, encourages a deeper exploration of spatial and conceptual relationships.
