// Border by Alan Charlton, a 2019 lithograph, presents a minimalist composition divided into four equal gray rectangles arranged in a grid on a white background. Each rectangle is uniform in tone, with subtle variations that may become perceptible upon closer inspection. Charlton's work often explores themes of simplicity and neutrality, using gray as a consistent palette to evoke introspection and focus on form. The title, Border, might hint at divisions, separations, or the quiet presence of boundaries within seemingly uniform spaces. This piece invites viewers to reflect on minimalism and the quiet depth found within limited color and form.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
