About the artist

ALFRED JENSEN is recognized as one of the great abstract painters of his generation and a precursor of Conceptual art. Evidenced throughout his production is an evolution of knowledge, philosophical thought, and consciousness that builds upon relational concepts. He was inspired by his wide-ranging studies of systems and philosophies, extending from theories of color and light, mathematics, and scientific formulations to the Mayan calendar, hieroglyphics, and systems of divination such as the I Ching. Using a bold polychromatic palette and gridded compositions, Jensen structured his paintings and works on paper with overlapping systems of forms, colors, signs, and numbers.
