74V05 Possibly 1973 - 1993

John Divola's "74V05," a black and white photograph, captures a pattern of circular marks created by paint splatters on a white wall. Taken between 1973 and 1993, the image reflects Divola's signature style of documenting found spaces and the marks made on them. The minimalist composition of the artwork highlights the repetition and uniformity of the splatters, creating a grid-like structure that is both visually intriguing and conceptually rich. The artist's interest in the remnants of human activity in urban environments is evident in the image, as the paint marks become evidence of a past action and a commentary on the ephemerality of human intervention. "74V05" is a powerful example of Divola's exploration of the relationship between photography, space, and time.
