Channa Horwitz, born in Los Angeles in 1932, was a Minimalist Conceptual artist. Although she reached creative maturity in the 1960s and maintained an inescapable association with the prevailing Minimalism of the time, the outstanding significance of her work only gained wider prominence towards the end of her career.
After graduating from university in 1963, Horwitz attempted to use simple shapes and colours, with the relationship between numerical sequence, system, and structure serving as the central focus of her work. In her career, the birth of each new series is derived from the backtracking and evolution of the previous works, thus the colour blocks and lines are regularly shifted in a simple algorithm. In Horwitz's interpretation, images of tremendous visual rhythm and rational order are formed, allowing for the prolonged possibility of dialogue between one another.
'I play with logical structure as one plays a game,' Horwitz said.
