Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking visual composition comprising two contrasting rectangles of vibrant red and pale blue hues. The dominant red panel commands attention, while the smaller blue area prominently displays the word "CAULDISES" in bold lettering. The overall design suggests a minimalist, abstract style that emphasizes the interplay of color, shape, and text. The artist likely intended to explore themes of duality, symbolism, and the emotive power of simple visual elements within the context of contemporary art. ...

Mertz is best known for his systematic experiments with the colours red and blue, that he termed ‘red/​blue proposition’ and began producing in 1968.
