Gevouwen vorm 1986

"Gevouwen vorm" (Folded Form) is a 1986 work by Dutch artist Maria van Elk. This minimalist artwork utilizes a single, irregular, folded form of deep purple paper against a white background. The contrast of the muted tones and the subtle texture of the paper add to the geometric simplicity of the piece, characteristic of van Elk's practice. The piece explores the fundamental elements of form and color, demonstrating the power of geometric abstraction.
