VISION

Throughout the past century, Samuel Beckett has served as a continual reference point for many contemporary artists. Like Beckett, these artists remain dogmatically loyal to their truths and convictions. Ingrid Donat, for instance, showcases unwavering dedication to her motifs, employing repetition in patinas and forms, reinterpreting them with nuanced variations. Her mastery lies in the meticulous repetition, finding the difference within.

 

Johanna Grawunder, a mentee of Ettore Sottsass and a native of California influenced by the Memphis and Light & Space movements, fuses architectural forms with structured dynamics. Her work, in conjunction with artists like Donald Judd, Ingrid Donat, and Adam Pendleton, explores the relationship between repetition and difference.

​

Similarly, Vincenzo De Cotiis demonstrates his mastery of materials. Consistently reinterpreting the same materials, De Cotiis infuses each series with a new interpretation while staying true to the essence of art-making. By embracing repetition, De Cotiis discovers the intrinsic differences that arise.

 

Donald Judd, known for his use of repetition in stacked forms, explores the interplay of color, scale, and the interaction with the human body. Judy Chicago's work on fertility figures and Richard Prince's examination of the ubiquity of imagery, particularly through his nurse series, further highlights the theme of repetition and its nuanced differences.

 

Yayoi Kusama's work, characterized by her signature polka dots and immersive installations, delves into the realm of repetition on a grand scale. Through her meticulous and obsessive repetition of dots, she explores themes of infinity, eternity, and the dissolution of the self. Kusama's work exemplifies a profound dedication to her motifs, mirroring the unwavering commitment. Her art invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of endless repetition, where the subtle nuances and variations within her repetitive patterns become a source of contemplation and introspection.
