Gevouwen vorm 1986

"Gevouwen vorm" (Folded Form) is a 1986 work by Dutch artist Maria van Elk. The artwork depicts a simple, abstract shape—a dark gray, irregularly-shaped form—cut from paper and placed upon a white background. Van Elk's work often focuses on geometric forms, exploring their relationships and how they interact with the negative space around them. The textured surface of the paper adds visual interest and depth. This minimal composition challenges the viewer to consider the interplay of form, space, and color.
