<div>Joanna Pousette-Dart’s 3 Part Variation No. 11 (2017) is composed of three stacked, curvilinear canvases—forms that resemble canoe hulls or slices of a circle—rising in scale from bottom to top. Each panel has its own restrained palette of blues, yellows, and grays, distinct yet resonant with the others. The proportions and curves echo from one to the next, yet no two forms are alike. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>Within each panel, broad areas of flat color are bisected by rounded shapes whose outer contours align with the painting’s edge. Layered over these are linear arabesque-like structures that visually rhyme—but never directly repeat—the panels’ curves, creating a dynamic interplay between inner drawing and outer shape. The result is both lyrical and precise, a composition where subtle variations generate a complex harmony. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>The beauty of 3 Part Variation No. 11 lies in these relationships: how forms mirror, diverge, and converge across the three canvases. The effect is meditative, like a visual equation that is at once architectural and deeply personal. </div> <div>Joanna Pousette-Dart’s 3 Part Variation No. 11 (2017) is composed of three stacked, curvilinear canvases—forms that resemble canoe hulls or slices of a circle—rising in scale from bottom to top.

ジョアンナ・プセット=ダートの《3部構成の変奏曲 第11番》(2017年)は、カヌーの船体や円のスライスを思わせる曲線的なキャンバス3枚が積み重ねられ、下から上へ規模を増していく構成である。各パネルは青、黄、灰色の抑制された色調を持ち、それぞれが独立しながらも互いに呼応している。 各パネルの比率と曲線は相互に呼応しつつ、全く同じ形態は存在しない。





各パネル内では、平坦な色彩の広い領域が丸みを帯びた形状によって二分され、その外縁は絵画の縁と一致する。これらの上に重ねられた線状の装飾的構造は、パネルの曲線を視覚的に反復(直接的な複製ではなく)させ、内側の描画と外側の形状の間に動的な相互作用を生み出す。 その結果は叙情的でありながら精密で、微妙な変化が複雑な調和を生み出す構図となっている。





『3部変奏曲 第11番』の美しさは、これら3枚のキャンバスにまたがる形態の鏡像的関係、分岐と収束の力学にある。その効果は瞑想的で、建築的でありながら深く個人的な視覚方程式のようだ。
