[no title] 1977

Editor: Here we have an untitled work by Stephen Buckley. I’m struck by the fragmented composition. What do you see in this piece, with its layered squares and brushstrokes? Curator: The composition utilizes juxtaposition to disrupt conventional viewing. Note how the squares, while seemingly uniform in shape, vary in tonal value and the density of brushstrokes. Editor: So, the lack of a central focal point is intentional? Curator: Precisely. The artist encourages the eye to wander, focusing on the relationship between form and texture. The tactile quality is as crucial as the arrangement. Editor: I see. It's about how the elements interact, not what they represent. Thanks for pointing that out!
