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 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.
