This painting is mostly empty space. The top third is a flat gray rectangle, like a heavy cloud. Below it, a narrow brown strip sits in the middle, floating against a big white wall. At the very bottom, a thin gray line runs along the floor. The brown strip looks like a shelf or ledge, but it’s not holding anything. The whole thing is simple and quiet, with no extra details. If you like this kind of clean, minimal art, look up Dorothea Rockburne next.
