US Letter Painting #26

2014

Maria Taniguchi's *US Letter Painting #26* is an acrylic work on linen that continues her meditative exploration of repetition and structure through a dense, hand-rendered grid of small rectangular marks. The painting's surface rewards close inspection, revealing subtle variations in tone and texture within what initially appears to be a uniform field of deep, near-black marks. Taniguchi's labor-intensive process transforms the standard US letter format into a contemplative object that hovers between painting, drawing, and conceptual practice.
