R72-19
1972
A master of Dutch minimalism, Jan Schoonhoven constructs a precisely ordered relief of repeating geometric forms using painted papier-mâché applied to a wooden support. The work's uniform white surface dissolves individual texture, drawing attention instead to the subtle interplay of light and shadow cast across its rhythmic, grid-like structure. R72-19 exemplifies Schoonhoven's meditative approach to abstraction, reducing visual experience to the quiet tension between form, depth, and perception.
