The work belongs to the current of geometric abstraction and perceptual color research. Style: Abstract.

A refined and surprising work, built on a light surface traversed by a regular sequence of small white dots and two different shades of green. Up close, each dot reveals a tiny central cavity, a precious detail that makes the surface even more vibrant, tactile and perceptive.

The painterly activity of Jorrit Tornquist focuses on color as visual, luminous and mental experience. In this 1972 work, the artist’s search appears fully recognizable: rhythm, light, tonal variation and geometric control fuse into an essential, silent image with extraordinary presence.

Created in 1972. The signature, year and the artist’s label with archive number 1972-0045 on the back are very important documentary elements and make the work particularly interesting for collectors.

Jorrit Tornquist, born in Graz in 1938 and who died in Cisano Bergamasco in 2023, was one of the most important European interpreters of color research. His inquiry can be likened—in rigor and attention to visual perception—to the experiences of Josef Albers, Victor Vasarely, Jesús Rafael Soto and François Morellet, while maintaining an autonomous and personal voice.

The work is presented in a deep white frame, with protective glass, which enhances its luminous, clean and contemporary character. The color rendering and the perception of details may vary slightly depending on the screen used and the presence of the protective glass; viewed in person, the work retains its full visual presence.
