Gevouwen vorm 1986

"Gevouwen vorm" (Folded Form) is a 1986 work by Dutch artist Maria van Elk. The minimalist artwork features a single, solid blue square centered on a sheet of off-white paper. The blue square is a stark contrast to the white, drawing attention to its form and the paper's texture. This piece, created in the abstract art genre, explores the relationship between color, shape, and form. The minimalist aesthetic and the use of a single color are characteristic of van Elk's work, which often investigates the fundamentals of visual perception and composition.
