Work belonging to the current of geometric abstraction and perceptual color research. Style: Abstract

Refined and surprising work, built on a light surface pierced by a orderly 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 a visual, luminous and mental experience. In this work the artist’s research appears fully recognizable: rhythm, light, tonal variation and geometric control merge into an essential, silent image with extraordinary presence.

The work was 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 died in Cisano Bergamasco in 2023, was one of the most important European interpreters of color research. His inquiry can be likened, in terms of 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 rendition and the perception of details may vary slightly depending on the screen used and the presence of protective glass; in person the work retains its full visual presence.
