Painting #5 2015

"Painting #5" is a 2015 work by Kaloust Guedel, an artist known for his minimalist and geometric abstract style. This large-scale painting features a white rectangular canvas with a frame. Atop the frame, a blue band stretches across the canvas. A small rectangle of colored geometric shapes are applied to the top left corner, and a thin, vertical strip of clear plastic with a green gradient at the bottom hangs from the top edge of the canvas. The work's minimalist aesthetic and bold use of color invite viewers to contemplate the interplay between form, color, and space.
