Arakawa, Shusaku | Natural History, 1969 — available on Composition Gallery
// Natural History by Arakawa Shusaku is a serigraph print that explores abstract concepts of decision-making and perception through minimalist design and textual elements. The artwork features a line that begins on the left and subtly slopes downward, accompanied by a colorful cluster of vertical lines on the right. Below, phrases such as the length of decision and the nature of taste or bullshit provoke thought on human choices and subjective interpretation. Created in 1969, this limited edition print (192/200) embodies Arakawa’s intellectual approach to art, where language and geometry intersect to question reality and the nature of decision.

Shusaku Arakawa (Japan, 1936–2010) was a visionary artist and architect whose work challenged conventional perceptions of space and existence. Co-creator of 'reversible destiny' architecture, he blended conceptual art with experimental design to provoke thought about life and mortality. Arakawa’s groundbreaking works, often in collaboration with Madeline Gins, continue to influence contemporary art and architecture.

What is Lettrism?

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
