About the Item
In 1968, a review in the New York Times referred to Inukai’s paintings as “Very pure”. This fresh, graphic work features a single color with bands around the edges that are truly intriguing – especially when seen up close. During the 1960s, the artist was exploring the boundaries of color, structure, and minimalist formalism.
Light Green Square is in original condition and in the realm of its date and composition stands as a great and experimental example of minimalism.
In person the color bands at the edges operate well and the works have a stimulating presence.
Signed on the verso stretcher, titled and dated with the no 6.
Canvas inside frame is basically 40 x 40 inches
Inukai’s use of acrylic on canvas allowed for a flat, uninterrupted color field which was central to hard-edge painting and the emphasis on the clean transition between hues and geometric sections. Light Green Square No. 6 is a significant example of Naohiko Inukai’s hard-edge abstraction from this period. Inukai’s art bridges Eastern and Western sensibilities, with his abstract painting embodying both the cosmopolitan energy of New York and the nuanced, contemplative qualities of Tokyo life. His career trajectory, moving between these cities, enabled a fusion that is evident in his visual language and approach to composition. While one work is highly effective and commanding, we share that the grouping of all four (Green Square No. 4, Blue, Blue Square No. 3) works creates a great visual impact.
