Plate 1999

This Plate by Irene Saito, sits before us with its playful dance of circles, squares, and crosses, rendered in such a gentle palette. The soft greens and muted grays speak to a quiet kind of geometry, one that's more about feeling than about perfect precision. I mean, you can practically sense the artist's hand as they navigated the curves and contours. There's this wonderful rhythm, like a visual echo, and the colors feel almost like they've been whispered onto the surface. Thinking about other artists, this reminds me of some of Agnes Martin’s subtle grids – not in terms of style, but in the way it invites a sort of meditative looking. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t always have to shout to be heard; sometimes, the quietest voices have the most to say.
