A striking study in texture and contrast, "Square One" exemplifies Sabine Stromeyer’s sculptural approach to mixed-media painting. As stated on the artist's label, this work represents her "interest in sculptural forms and strong textured surfaces," realized here through a rigorous grid of black squares. Acrylic, felt, resin, and gold leaf on canvas.

The composition is a complex topography of light and shadow, created by juxtaposing the matte, soft absorption of felt against the high-gloss sheen of resin and the rough, tactile grit of modeling paste. Piercing this landscape of midnight tones are centralized squares of brilliant gold leaf. These luminous focal points disrupt the uniform grid, offering a flash of warmth and opulence that anchors the triptych.

By blurring the line between painting and relief sculpture, Stromeyer transforms simple geometric repetition into a sensory experience. "Square One" captures a meditative balance between rough and smooth, darkness and light, making it a sophisticated, grounding addition to contemporary interiors. artist label on verso.
