Yukihisa Isobe
Work 62-21
1962
Oil on wood panel
182 × 128 cm (71 ⅝ × 50 ⅜ in)
Painted in 1962, Work 62-21 belongs to Isobe’s formative early period, when he was experimenting with the intersection of painting, relief, and symbolic patterning. The composition is structured as an ordered grid of shield-like forms, repeated across the surface in carefully organized rows. Some remain bare, rendered in muted shades of cream, beige, and off-white, while others are energized with bold, geometric interventions in red, blue, yellow, green, and black, recalling heraldic emblems or stylized banners.
Isobe’s use of oil is distinctly material: thickly applied, often scraped and reworked, producing a surface that reads as much sculptural as pictorial. This tactile treatment reinforces the sense of the painting as an object, where form and relief hold equal weight to color and motif. The interplay between filled and unfilled shields, between stark monochrome and vibrant chromatic contrasts, demonstrates the artist’s sustained interest in rhythm, repetition, and the codification of signs.
As one of the large-scale works from this early stage, Work 62-21 exemplifies Isobe’s search for a unique artistic vocabulary—balancing modernist abstraction with personal symbolism—and offers a striking insight into the foundations of his later conceptual practice.

Jack Knox was a Scottish painter and teacher.
Born in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire in 1936, Knox studied at Glasgow School of Art 1953-57, with teachers such William Armour and David Donaldson, before spending a year at the Paris atelier of the French painter André L'hote. Combining what he took from this experience with the impact of seeing the first show of American Abstract Expressionists in Europe in 1959, he began a diverse career which saw constantly changing styles, from gestural abstraction to still lifes and portraits.
In 1965 he was appointed lecturer at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art where he worked alongside fellow artists such as Alberto Morrocco...
