Wavy Lines on Gray, 1996-1998

From Sequences
Triptych of three woodcuts, printed with oil paint on Awa Kozo paper, 50 x 40 cm (19¾ x 15¾ in). Edition: 60 + X, signed and numbered on print C.

This vibrant triptych edition by Sol LeWitt exemplifies his late-career exploration of wavy lines as a structured yet expressive visual language. Each panel is filled with flowing, multicolored lines – red, blue, yellow, and black – that twist and ripple across the surface, creating a dynamic sense of movement and rhythm. Despite the apparent spontaneity of the lines, their placement is governed by a system, reflecting LeWitt’s enduring commitment to conceptual processes. The triptych format enhances the compositional energy, as each section offers a distinct variation within a unified visual logic.
