Abstract

This study, which is entitled "Exploration of the Minimalist Aesthetic in Geometric Form Language in Oil Painting," investigates the way in which geometric form language accomplishes minimalist aesthetics in the oil painting. Based on the theory of geometric form language and minimalist aesthetics, the analysis in the article explores the visualization of the concepts discussed such as simplicity of form, purity of color, equilibrium in the composition, and the connectedness of the artist to conceptually new approaches in art production. The paradigmatic artworks of Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich, and Mark Rothko are exemplified to illustrate the inbred correlation of geometric form language and minimalist aesthetics. The study establishes that the geometric form language which is expressed with simplicity and clarity not only beautifies the piece formally but also embeds it with deep thought and conceptuality. The aim of this paper is to look at oil painting from new and different angles while at the same time discussing abstractly the potential of geometric form language in contemporary art.
