// Matias Faldbakken's Hilux Variations 1 (2014) is a monotype, a unique print that showcases the artist’s minimalist approach through bold, gestural strokes. In this work, a rich, deep blue swath dominates the composition, crossed by a thick, white diagonal stroke that disrupts the solid blue, creating a sense of tension and movement. The contrast between the blue and white, along with the brush’s visible texture, evokes themes of simplicity and power, with a nod to industrial aesthetics. As a singular print in an edition of one, this piece emphasizes the immediacy and spontaneity inherent to monotype techniques, making it a distinct work in Faldbakken’s exploration of form and abstraction.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
