Untitled’s surface is painted white, using a mixture of oil paint and marble powder, on which the artist intervenes by tracing almost invisible marks. The composition’s texture brings out the painting’s emptiness, becoming the artwork’s main subject. The pictorial works that Aiko Miyawaki (Tokyo, Japan, 1929 - Yokohama, Japan, 2014) created between the late Fifties and the early Sixties appear as elements of an uninterrupted procedural flow in which each painting is a fragment. Besides, they visually recall the correlation between the spatial and temporal dimensions suggested by the theory of relativity.
