Shusaku Arakawa's Four Dimensions Exist in One Dimension, acrylic on canvas, four-part grid with subtle yellow edges and smaller grid.

// Four Dimensions Exist in One Dimension by Shusaku Arakawa, created in 1965, is a contemplative acrylic painting that explores geometric abstraction through simplicity and subtle gradients. The canvas is dominated by a four-part grid, softened with faint yellow edges, suggesting the blending of boundaries or dimensions. Within one quadrant, a smaller, more intricate grid emphasizes a layered concept of space and multiplicity, drawing the viewer’s attention to the relationship between parts and wholes. Arakawa’s approach evokes ideas of perception, spatial relationships, and the philosophy of dimensional existence, inviting introspection on how we perceive boundaries and dimensions.
