With concept reduced to linear simplicity, attention is captured.
Jetelovà’s ‘Iceland Project’ lifts a fiber optic line into a simplified 3-D description of rugged terrain.
Fontana’s ‘Concetto Spaziale’ focuses on disturbing slashed lines on a pristine primed canvas.
Büttner’s incised line woodcut captures a marquee’s structure via only the most critical lines.
