Plocha a prostor/Surface and Free Play 1993

Milan Grygar made this artwork called Plocha a prostor/Surface and Free Play, but the year is unknown. It's a conversation in geometric shapes: a black rhombus meets a small yellow square. I wonder, was Grygar thinking about surface tension, about how shapes push and pull against each other? It’s hard to imagine what it might have been like for Grygar to create this piece. What kind of "free play" was he aiming for? I feel an emotional connection to the tension between the shapes, a kind of push-and-pull, like figures in a landscape. Think of the black form like a shadow, grounding the composition. And then that little pop of yellow, defying gravity! Each decision, each placement, is a form of mark-making. This piece reminds me of the ongoing conversation between artists across time, each building upon the ideas of those who came before. And it opens up so many questions. How does art reframe our perceptions? What is the sound of a painting?
