Work No. 1615
2013
Work No. 1615 is an acrylic on canvas painting by British artist Martin Creed, known for his systematic and conceptually driven approach to artmaking. The work reflects Creed's characteristic interest in simplicity, repetition, and the relationship between order and meaning. True to his broader practice of numbering all his works sequentially, the piece invites viewers to consider the act of creation itself as much as the visual outcome.

Artists in conversation
Ellsworth Kelly
American · b. 1923
Kelly's hard edge paintings share Creed's commitment to bold colors, geometric abstraction and systematic reduction, where the act of painting itself becomes a conceptual statement about form and color relationships on canvas.
Sol LeWitt
American · b. 1928
LeWitt's conceptually driven geometric works embrace repetition and strict sequential systems very similar to Creed's numbered practice, treating the underlying concept as the primary subject of the artwork.
Bridget Riley
British · b. 1931
Riley's boldly colored geometric and abstract paintings share Creed's British conceptual sensibility and interest in systematic visual order, using repetition and precise patterning to explore perception and meaning.
