Shigeo Matsubara (Japanese, 1944-2012)

“Cosmical Color Space” 1968

Iron, paint 200×200×10 cm (12)

Shigeo Matsubara said, "Placing objects in parallel rows links the space, fusing it with the outdoor nature and giving birth to an orderly cosmos." In this work, a series of square objects, all exactly the same size, have been placed in a row and colored red, yellow, green, and blue, following the colors of the rainbow. The 12 colors create a rhythm and harmony, producing a microcosm of color in which it seems we can almost hear sound. This work, is an environmental sculpture, bringing peace to people's minds while surpassing even the form conceived by the artist to assume also the function of play.
