Paralléle 06-8 2006

"Paralléle 06-8", created in 2006 by Japanese artist Matsutani (1937-), is a striking example of minimalist abstract art. The painting features a stark contrast between a dark, almost black background and a single, pale, vertical shape that takes up most of the canvas. The shape appears to be a blurred and fragmented form, suggesting a sense of depth and dimensionality. The simple composition and limited color palette evoke a sense of serenity and contemplation, typical of Matsutani's work.
