Lee Ufan, Space: Silence Room


Looking at art is like doing a puzzle but without the picture on the box to guide you. It’s complex and meaningful. It’s basic and silly. No one puts the puzzle together the same way. What did the artist mean? What were they thinking? People spend decades wondering. But no one will ever really know unless the artist explains themself. Even then no one will really know. Because maybe the artist can’t express in words what they already put on canvas. How often, I wonder, do we ponder for hours over a brushstroke or chisel mark that the artist never gave a second thought. No meaning at all. How often do we overlook something significant, a turning point in the whole design? The artist poured hours into getting it just right but we never see. We could do both simultaneously while looking at only one canvas. Art is a paradox like that. A mystery with no reveal, no whodunnit moment, no clarity at the end.
