The Fourth 'Book of Schemes'. Album #2, the First Folder 1978

Valerii Lamakh made 'The Fourth 'Book of Schemes'. Album #2, the First Folder' as a set of studies. Look closely at how these triangles are built with colored inks. It's like he’s thinking out loud, letting us peek into his process. I love how the colours, pink, yellow and blue, pop against the stark white paper, each line a deliberate stroke. The texture is smooth, the ink sitting just so on the surface. Notice the top left triangle; it's like a little world of its own, with each line finding its place in the grand scheme. This isn't just geometry, it's rhythm. Lamakh's work reminds me a bit of Sol LeWitt, with its systemic approach to form. But there's a warmth here, an openness, that invites you in rather than keeping you at a distance. Art isn’t always about answers, sometimes it’s about asking the right questions.
