// Michael Craig-Martin's The Catalan Suite I - Soup Can (2013) is a limited edition etching that distills the iconic form of a soup can into a minimalist composition. Positioned centrally against a stark black background, the can is rendered with clean lines and subtle shading, accompanied by a single yellow dot beneath it and a curved line below, adding a playful, almost abstract quality to the representation. Craig-Martin, known for his use of everyday objects, transforms the banal into an emblem of modern life, stripping it of context and enhancing its symbolic power. This piece exemplifies Craig-Martin’s approach to elevating mundane objects through precise, graphic aesthetics.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
