Black granite on wooden pedestal // One Stroke Circle by Nobuo Sekine, created in 1974, is a sculptural piece that embodies the artist’s meditative approach to form and material. Crafted from black granite and set on a wooden pedestal, the circular shape features an abstract, yin-yang-like void within, suggesting balance and duality. The textured surface and carved lines within the circle add depth and invite contemplation of its minimalist beauty. Sekine, a key figure in the Mono-ha movement, often emphasizes natural materials and simple forms to evoke a connection between the physical and the conceptual. This work resonates with themes of harmony, space, and the fluidity of perception.
