C 159 1965

Tadasky’s ‘C 159’ is a geometric painting with a hard edge and a psychedelic colour scheme. It's pure geometry, yet, paradoxically, it's handmade. I can imagine him, there in his studio, carefully plotting each circle and meticulously filling in each stripe with bright blue, yellow, and red. The way these colours pulse together, it's almost dizzying. The precision is compelling, though it makes me think about how the simple act of painting can become a form of meditation for the artist. You know, a way to escape the chaos of the world by creating order on canvas. Looking at this piece, I'm reminded of other artists who have explored geometric abstraction, like Sol LeWitt, for example. There's a connection there, a shared interest in the potential of simple forms to create complex visual experiences. These artists are all in conversation with one another, building upon each other's ideas and pushing the boundaries of what painting can be.
