Quantum

Garo Antreasian, Tamarind Institute

1966

The image consists of parallel, vertical lines that curve into a U-shape at the bottom. This creates an abstract pattern resembling undulating arches. The design may evoke a stylized bridge or repeated tunnel shapes. The symmetry and repetition draw the eye towards the center. The dark lines contrast with the light background, creating a sense of movement and depth like a winding pathway or rail tracks.

The image shows large yellow triangular shapes converging at a point, intersected by horizontal bands of varying blue shades. Dark gray curves on either side of the yellow resemble arcs. The composition is framed by bold yellow, dividing the image into segments with a mix of vibrant and muted tones.
