Ink, Watercolor, and Gouache on paper - Signed and dated // Shusaku Arakawa's Texture Point Blank No. 2 (1978) is a mixed media work on paper, created with ink, watercolor, and gouache. Measuring 36 x 60 cm, the composition features a complex overlay of abstract line work and subtle text, placed against a radiating background. The use of linear elements and soft color gradients creates a sense of movement and space, while the cryptic text adds layers of meaning, encouraging reflection on language, perception, and human experience. Arakawa's philosophical approach often explores the intersections between art, architecture, and existential inquiry, and this work exemplifies that exploration through its intricate design and contemplative tone.

What is Neo-Dada?
Neo-Dada is a minor visual and audio art movement with intents similar to those of Dada artwork. While it revives some of Dada's objectives, Neo-Dada emphasizes the importance of the produced artwork rather than the concept behind it. The movement is considered the foundation of Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme, and Fluxus. Neo-Dada is known for its use of absurdist contrasts, popular imagery, and modern materials, blending high and low culture in a way that challenges traditional artistic conventions.
