Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist artwork features a series of simple geometric frames composed of bold primary colors - red and blue - set against a plain white background. The frames are constructed using wooden pieces, showcasing the artist's attention to material and craftsmanship. The overall composition creates a sense of balance and rhythm through the repetition of shapes and the interplay of positive and negative spaces. This abstract piece reflects the principles of Constructivism, focusing on the core elements of art to convey a sense of order and harmony. ...

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. Reaching its final form as a rectangle in 1971, the proposition was made up of multiple media formats and scale, found or reused materials, or painted directly onto exhibition walls. In his studies, Metrz navigated abstract purity while approaching it with humour and play by introducing figurative elements, such as a profile of a face, a house, or a chair.
