Karnac I 1972

"Karnac I" (1972) is a minimalist painting by Tony DeLap, known for his geometric and abstract work. This piece features a grid-like composition of horizontal bands, with a single white square in the center, creating a visually striking contrast against the textured, off-white background. The subtle lines and muted colors of the artwork evoke a sense of calmness and contemplation. DeLap's use of repetitive patterns and simple forms reflects the Minimalist art movement, which emphasized reduction and essentialism.
