R-O-Y-G-B-I-V-G
I made a series of paintings. Conceptually, the idea can be conveyed in a diagram (see above), but there is definitely a difference between the diagram and the actual work. Part of the tension in the works of Donald Judd is the inevitable gap between the ideal Platonic concept and the realized piece. A lot of minimal artists embraced industrial processes, in order to distance themselves from any personal expression, and in order to close the gap between the conceptual idea and the realized idea.
I am skeptical of the claim that personal expression can be eliminated in art, and I wonder of it can instead be embraced, but still within a minimal context.
Eventually I will take some real-life pictures!
