Tiling Study 31635 (2020) is a small-scale abstract work that combines ink and acrylic paint on archival paper. The composition explores rhythm, repetition, and geometric balance.
Blending visceral mark-making with conceptual exploration, this small painting shows Ione’s ongoing interest in both process and how simple geometric motifs can generate complex visual statements. Balancing crispness with a softness of color, the visual contrast, invites viewers to reflect on how repetition and variation coexist. Both architectural and lyrical, it also encourages one to think about how life is lived between structure and improvisation.
Finally, its grid-like arrangement evokes the idea of tiles or tessellations, with repeated forms creating a tension between order and variation due to the subtle irregularities in the application of line and color.
