The tendency for minimalist art work to exclude fantasy and so move the emphasis to more sculptural concerns began in the sixties and Distant Design is a first class example of what this concept can achieve. A three piece canvas art set this oil painting captures every hue of the color wheel.. brilliant and exciting it would bring modern vibrancy to any room.

George Ortman was the first American artist to 'solidify' forms into carved geometry that sought what minimalist artists saw as the 'truth'. Donald Judd a sculptor who reveled in the special concepts his ideas created .. here began a whole new world within sculpture and oil painting. Unclassified and free of objectives Distant Design allows the viewer to,  literally,'look into space'  and enjoy the liberation that offers; being free of preset borders and boundaries.

Color and space are the two fundamental building blocks of 'reality'. Distant Design celebrates both and avoids convention. An oil painting such as this is hard to tire of as it constantly provokes the imagination,  as space is an ever changing concept within our minds eye. Because in reality we all understand, space in an indefinable and unfathomable concept to us, only a Distant Design.
