Ryman similarly foregrounded the physical materials and support structures of painting as the primary subject matter, creating monochromatic works where canvas, linen, and fasteners become the visual content itself. His minimalist approach to materiality and surface directly parallels Kahn's layered construction of linen on canvas on board.

Innes creates geometric and monochromatic abstract works that emphasize the material presence of the support and surface, sharing Kahn's interest in restraint and the quiet dialogue between physical layers. His contemporary minimalist abstraction closely mirrors the tonal and structural sensibility of this specific piece.

Hicks integrates textile and woven materials into fine art contexts, much as Kahn incorporates linen as a structural and aesthetic component rather than merely a ground. Her work bridges the material qualities of fabric with contemporary abstract and minimalist traditions, directly echoing the mixed media textile approach seen here.
