25 Copper Squares

1967

This geometric abstraction presents a dynamic interplay of linear and gridded patterns rendered in copper tones against a light ground. The composition features two distinct textural zones: vertical striations that dominate the outer areas create a sense of optical vibration, while a cross hatched grid pattern in the center provides structural counterpoint. Within these fields, diamond shaped copper forms are distributed in rhythmic arrangements, their warm metallic hue contrasting sharply with the cool linear framework. Constructed from lucite and metal, the work exemplifies mid century modernist engagement with industrial materials and mathematical precision, reflecting the period's fascination with optical phenomena and serial composition.

Medium
Lucite and metal construction
