Relief, Series B 1967

Charlotte Posenenske made these "Reliefs, Series B", sometime before her death in 1985 using, it looks like, industrial materials and processes. The colour is like the sun turned into a lemon, bright, pure, and unapologetically synthetic. What I love about this piece is how it makes you rethink the idea of what art can be. It’s not just about making something beautiful to look at, but it’s about the idea, the concept, and how it interacts with space. The surface is smooth, almost like it was sprayed or manufactured, which is very different from my messy paint-handling. Look at how the light catches on the folded edge, creating a shadow that changes as you move around it. That interplay of light and shadow gives the piece a dynamic quality, as if it’s constantly changing. It reminds me a little of Donald Judd’s stacks, but with a pop twist. These wall-mounted works ask us to consider art not as a precious object, but as a modular, and repeatable element.
