The artwork titled “Convention” was created by Robert Ryman in 2002. The piece is a representation of the Minimalism art movement, executed in oil medium. It measures 182.9 by 182.9 cm and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork presents a vast expanse of texturized white surface. The predominant presence of white oil paint appears meticulously applied, creating a subtle interplay of light and shadow within its texture. Edges reveal the underlying canvas and a hint of a reddish-brown border peeking through, enhancing the abstract minimalism of the composition. The minor imperfection at the upper right corner, where a small section is deliberately left unpainted, accentuates the tactile nature of the piece. “Convention” embodies a serene yet profound exploration of space, surface, and minimalistic expression.
