Untitled 1957

This untitled artwork was made by Rubem Ludolf, and it's all about these striking red triangles against a creamy background. You can almost feel the artist carefully placing each shape, figuring out how they play off each other within those thin square borders. I imagine Ludolf, totally absorbed, maybe even mumbling to himself as he decides where each triangle goes. It feels both precise and intuitive, like a dance between control and letting go. I'm drawn to the different arrangements. Each square presents a new way of seeing. The red is so bold, almost like a graphic exclamation. And it makes you think about geometry and colour, but also about the energy and tension in those simple shapes. Ludolf, like all artists, is part of this incredible conversation across time. He’s responding to what came before and paving the way for what’s next. And in the end, it’s up to us to keep the conversation going.
