In the Form of Square

"In the Form of Square" by Jirō Takamatsu exemplifies his profound exploration of Abstract and Minimalism currents. The work emphasizes elemental geometric forms, particularly the square, as fundamental components that challenge perception and cognition. Takamatsu’s focus on the Zero Dimension concept reveals his interest in isolating the smallest morphological units—those representing “absence” and perceptual limits. This approach questions the nature of reality, pushing viewers to confront the unobservable and the fundamental structures that compose visual existence, embodying his philosophical inquiry into the conditions of art.
