Geometric Composition 1966

Max Bill made this Geometric Composition with what looks like quite thin paint, and a real desire to work things out. I imagine Bill working slowly, intuitively following through with his system, making careful colour choices, and creating a world in which each element is carefully placed, ordered, and balanced. I feel like this painting is an investigation of what happens when you let go of the idea of a perfect square. Like, what are the possibilities when you systematically distort shapes and colours, push them to their limits, and let the logic unfold naturally? There's something very human and playful about Bill’s work that makes me smile. I love the way these artists are in conversation across time, inspiring each other to experiment and think differently about the nature of reality, and how to represent it. I wonder what Max Bill would think of my work.
