// Untitled 3/7 (Le Monde) by Jacob Kassay is a limited edition lithograph from 2013, capturing a reproduction of two pages from the French newspaper Le Monde. This artwork transforms a mundane object into a contemplative piece, emphasizing the textured quality of newsprint and the dense arrangement of text and images. Kassay’s approach strips away the readability, shifting the viewer's focus toward the aesthetic qualities of the print itself—the layout, shading, and patterns formed by the black ink on paper. By abstracting the familiar, Kassay invites us to observe the visual characteristics of printed media, highlighting the intersection between information dissemination and the physicality of the medium.
Jacob Kassay (USA, 1984) is a contemporary artist known for his reflective silver monochrome paintings created through electroplating. His work, which bridges painting, sculpture, and filmmaking, engages viewers by transforming surfaces into mirrors of their environment. Exhibited globally, Kassay’s art redefines traditional perspectives on materiality and perception.
Lithograph Lithography is a printing method based on the principle that water and oil do not mix. It can be used to print artwork or text onto paper or other suitable materials. Traditionally, an image was drawn with wax, fat, or oil onto a lithographic limestone surface or plate. Today, metal plates and other surfaces are also used in lithographic printing.

- Jacob Kassay
Jacob Kassay (b. 1984 USA) is an American contemporary artist known for his minimalistpaintings and conceptual installations that explore the materiality of art and the processes of perception. Kassay gained early recognition for his silver deposit paintings, where he used an electroplating process to create reflective, mirrored surfaces on canvas. These works are characterized by their subtle interplay of light and shadow, creating dynamic visual effects that change depending on the viewer’s position and the surrounding environment. Kassay's work often challenges traditional notions of painting by emphasizing the physicality of the medium and the conditions under which art is experienced. His approach blurs the line between painting and sculpture, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork in a spatial and tactile manner. Kassay’s work has been exhibited internationally and continues to be a significant voice in discussions about the boundaries of contemporary art.
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
