Untitled 1971

Johannes Jan Schoonhoven's "Untitled" from 1971 is a prime example of his signature "relief" style. This minimalist artwork features a grid of embossed squares, creating a subtle textural effect on the white surface. Schoonhoven, a Dutch artist associated with ZERO and Concrete art movements, explored the fundamental elements of form and materiality, transforming simple shapes into complex experiences. His works often investigate the interplay of light and shadow, challenging the viewer to perceive the seemingly flat surface in a new way.
