"Gouttes" (1976) by Korean artist Kim Tschang-yeul is a minimalist work featuring scattered, irregular shapes and blotches on a canvas. The work is a minimalist study of natural phenomenon and is considered a hallmark of Tschang-yeul's "Water Drop" series, where he explores the subtle beauty of water droplets and their interaction with surface tension. The simple composition emphasizes the visual language of dripping water, inviting viewers to contemplate the fragility and ephemeral nature of the subject.
