Agrigento 1970

Joyce Kozloff made this painting, Agrigento, with some kind of paint, I think oil, and a lot of geometry. Look at how she's laid out the colours, muted and earthy but also a bit surprising. It's like she's mapping a place, but it’s also an abstract exploration. I’m really drawn to the surface. There are these vertical lines, like a rhythmic pulse, and they appear both planned and kind of organic. They make me think about how patterns emerge from chaos, how order and disorder dance together. See how the paint isn't too thick, but you can still feel the texture? It’s as if the painting is breathing. Think about Agnes Martin, but a little warmer, maybe? There’s something quietly powerful here, a sense of calm and meditation that invites you to get lost in the details. It’s not about one meaning; it’s about the experience.
