Relief R 69-1 1969

Johannes Jan Schoonhoven's "Relief R 69-1" is a minimalist relief sculpture created in 1969. The piece is a grid of squares, each of which is slightly recessed into the surface of the white paper. This creates a subtle play of light and shadow, which is a key feature of Schoonhoven's work. Schoonhoven was a Dutch artist known for his minimalist art, which is characterized by its simplicity and focus on form. His reliefs, often made of paper or cardboard, explore the visual effects of light and shadow and the interplay of texture and surface.
