Kyoto Moon (Tom Minderhout)

Medium: Wood, Metal, Paint
Dimensions: 59 x 33 x 18
 

An elegant interplay of line, form, and color, Kyoto Moon evokes the quiet poetry of a landscape distilled to its essential elements. Slender metal rods rise and curve in graceful intersecting arcs, creating a delicate, calligraphic framework in which a vivid red circle floats like a moon suspended in space. The contrast between the geometric and organic, the rigid and fluid, create a sense of movement. With its restrained palette and carefully balanced forms, the work suggests an affinity with Japanese aesthetics where simplicity, asymmetry, and abstract beauty invite contemplation.
