minimal art - Scale

This piece of minimal art in watercolour is simple but engaging. The colour is the first connection then the few small but important shapes trigger the imagination. The colour of the ochres produce the mood, then the shapes set the scale bringing together the belief of space and aloofness.Tranquility and serenity are two words to associate with this piece of minimalism. Colour intensities are used to enable the viewer to appreciate the complete painting without the interruption of anything brash and distracting. One or two partly hidden shapes such as the ladder are found, they lend a hand to the interpretation.

Normally minimal art like any abstract art makes the viewer  decide what the painting is about, they make quite rightly their own interpretations. That is far more powerful than representational paintings where all is explained by the image and the viewer has nothing to hold them.
