// Matias Faldbakken’s Hilux Variations 11 from 2014 is a unique monotype that combines bold gestural abstraction with a limited color palette. The composition features expressive, sweeping brushstrokes in black and white against a light blue background, creating a sense of movement and intensity. The layered strokes, alternating between broad, opaque sections and translucent washes, evoke a raw and textured aesthetic that suggests both aggression and restraint. Faldbakken’s work in this piece showcases his exploration of materiality and form, emphasizing the physical act of painting. The monochromatic elements against the blue backdrop draw the viewer’s eye, engaging them in the energy and spontaneity of the artistic process.

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.
