Number Structure #5 1983

"Number Structure #5" (1983) by Kazuo Nakamura is a minimalist artwork that exemplifies the artist's fascination with numerical patterns. The composition is divided diagonally, with one half filled with a dense grid of blue squares, each containing a number, while the other half remains stark white. Nakamura's meticulous application of numbers within the grid creates a visual tension between order and chaos, drawing the viewer's eye into the intricate details of the artwork. His exploration of numbers as artistic elements reflects a broader movement in contemporary art that embraced conceptualism and formal abstraction.
