Imprints of a No. 50 Paintbrush Repeated at Regular Intervals of 30 cm. 1992

Niele Toroni’s 1992 minimalist artwork, "Imprints of a No. 50 Paintbrush Repeated at Regular Intervals of 30 cm.", consists of a series of white paintbrush imprints, evenly spaced across a large canvas. This work is a key example of Toroni's signature "Paintbrush" series, which explored the repetition of simple gestures to explore the nature of art and its process. The use of a uniform, predetermined system highlights the artist's fascination with a calculated and methodical approach to creation. The painting's monochromatic colour palette and geometric composition further accentuate the minimalist aesthetic, placing a strong emphasis on the visual elements and their arrangement.
