Untitled 1973

Johannes Jan Schoonhoven’s “Untitled” (1973) is a prime example of the artist’s signature style of relief painting. The piece features a grid of small squares, slightly raised from the canvas, creating a subtle textural variation. Schoonhoven, a Dutch artist, was known for his minimalist approach to art, often working with simple geometric forms and repetitive patterns. This work exemplifies his exploration of the relationship between form and surface, inviting the viewer to engage with the subtle interplay of light and shadow across the grid.
