The artwork titled “Molecule,” created by John McCracken in 1994, is an installation piece that belongs to the Art Movement known as “Light and Space.”
The artwork features a simple, geometric form, specifically a solid block, rendered in a singular, consistent shade of red. The surface of the form is smooth, and the right angles and clean lines are meticulously executed, reflecting precision and minimalism. The simplicity of the block’s structure and the choice of color emphasize visual purity and encourage viewers to contemplate the object’s interaction with light and space.
