Paul Van Hoeydonck's Arianne, 1966, mixed media on wood, fragmented red and black female form on white textured background.

Mixed media on wood // Arianne by Paul Van Hoeydonck, created in 1966, is a mixed-media piece on wood that combines sculptural and painterly elements to convey a fragmented female form. The artwork presents a disjointed, textured figure in red and black, emerging from a stark white background dotted with subtle patterns and indentations. This portrayal of the human body in pieces evokes themes of vulnerability and disintegration, suggesting both physical and emotional fragmentation. Van Hoeydonck's use of contrast between the figure’s vivid colors and the muted backdrop enhances the sense of isolation, while the three-dimensionality of the form invites viewers to engage with the piece from multiple perspectives.

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.
