843 1984

"843", a 1984 work by Japanese artist Funasaka Yoshisuke (1939-), is a prime example of geometric abstraction. The piece features a stark contrast between a red field with thin horizontal lines and a white field, divided by a vertical line. Within the red field, several colorful vertical lines of varying widths, and a single black line, create a bold, rhythmic pattern. Yoshisuke's exploration of simple forms and vivid colors, combined with the balanced asymmetry, creates a dynamic composition that captivates the viewer.
