About this work

Overview

Created in 1921, this work titled "Spatial Force Construction" measures 71.1 by 64.3 centimeters and is executed on a plywood support. The surface combines oil paint with a wood-based triturate, giving the composition a pronounced, tactile quality. The piece is associated with the Suprematist movement, reflecting its emphasis on abstract geometric forms.

Subject & Meaning

The composition consists of simplified geometric shapes arranged in a dynamic, interlocking pattern. By reducing visual elements to basic forms and colors, the artist explores the interaction of space and force, suggesting a conceptual investigation of how abstract structures can convey movement and energy without representational reference.

Technique & Style

The artist employed a mixture of oil and wood triturate, a coarse medium that creates a thick, impasto surface on the plywood. This textural approach enhances the visual weight of the geometric shapes, while the flat areas of color maintain the Suprematist focus on pure abstraction and the reduction of form to essential visual elements.

History & Provenance

The work bears a date inscribed on its reverse side, confirming its 1921 origin. It remains documented within the Suprematist canon, though specific details of its acquisition or exhibition history are not recorded in the available sources.
