The Power of Shape: Seth B. Minkin’s Bold, Mesmerizing Abstractions
Shapes are fundamental to our world—simple yet powerful, structured yet infinite in possibility. In Seth B. Minkin’s Shapes series, circles, ovals, and geometric forms take center stage, transforming into mesmerizing compositions that blur the line between structure and spontaneity. With rich textures, layered pigments, and a hypnotic rhythm of repeated forms, these works are more than just paintings; they are vibrant expressions of movement, energy, and artistic evolution.
A Language of Color and Form
Minkin’s Shapes series isn’t just about geometry—it’s about the dynamic interplay between color, texture, and light. Each piece, whether featuring the bold contrast of White Circles or the sophisticated depth of Oval Scales, is a testament to his ongoing exploration of abstraction. These works incorporate painterly techniques developed over years of experimentation, where layers of pigment create an organic yet structured rhythm.
His artistic journey is one of refinement, where each brushstroke and shape is deliberate yet fluid. Pieces like Circles (2017) encapsulate this balance, bringing together the luminous qualities of his Scales series with the clean precision of geometric forms. Each individual circle is treated as its own abstract painting, yet together, they form a composition that pulses with energy. Like cogs in an intricate machine, each shape contributes to something greater—a visual experience that is both hypnotic and harmonious.
Where Structure Meets Emotion
What makes the Shapes series truly special is its ability to evoke both structure and emotion. In Oval Scales (2019), Minkin speaks to a pivotal crossroads in his career, where his artistic language shifted towards a greater embrace of abstraction. The piece, featuring cool blues and metallic hues woven together with white charcoal, serves as a bridge between past and future—an evolution from representational imagery into a purer, more visceral form of expression.
These works also invite the viewer to engage in their own experience of discovery. The interplay of light on their textured surfaces means they evolve throughout the day, offering something new with each glance. Subtle shifts in perspective reveal unexpected details—tiny compositions within the larger whole, waiting to be uncovered.
A Statement of Sophistication and Playfulness
From grand-scale canvases to intimate prints, the Shapes series offers versatility for collectors and interior designers alike.
