Lost Space 1989

"Lost Space" is a minimalist artwork by Guy Mees, created in 1989. This piece features a single, bright yellow band of tape, reminiscent of the adhesive used in packaging, placed against a stark white background. Mees's use of everyday materials and simple forms challenges traditional notions of artistic value, inviting viewers to consider the inherent beauty within seemingly mundane objects. His work explores themes of space, form, and the nature of perception. The piece captures the simplicity of a single, yet powerful, element on an empty canvas, leaving space for the viewer's interpretation.
