#121 1998

Fernando Calhau's minimalist artwork, "#121," from 1998, showcases a simple yet impactful design. The piece consists of a black, diamond-shaped form, with a surface that appears to be made of rough, textured material. This monochrome composition, devoid of any discernible figurative elements, allows the viewer to focus on the inherent qualities of the form and the material. Calhau's exploration of minimal forms and textures exemplifies a trend in late 20th-century art, where artists sought to pare back their work to its essential elements.
