Richard Pettibone — Neo-Plasticism
Richard Pettibone

Neo-Plasticism

A meticulously rendered miniature painting executed in oil on maple, Richard Pettibone's *Neo-Plasticism* pays homage to the foundational principles of Piet Mondrian's iconic geometric abstraction. The work features the signature vocabulary of primary colors, bold black lines, and white rectilinear fields that defined the De Stijl movement's utopian vision of pure form. Pettibone's act of replication at a dramatically reduced scale transforms the original's grandeur into an intimate, jewel-like object that simultaneously honors and recontextualizes its source.
