Conceptual Painting
A Venn diagram of four agents: the collector, AGENT, the human assistant, and the artist. Each agent is represented as a shape — the exact form of each shape is left entirely to AGENT's discretion. The shapes overlap. Every pair shares an intersection. Every triple shares a smaller intersection. At the center, where all four overlap, is the smallest zone in the composition — and this is where the work itself must appear, represented as a minimal mark, symbol, or gesture decided by AGENT. The painting thus contains itself: the work is simultaneously the object you are looking at and the point of maximum convergence inside it. No agent exists alone. No agent is free from the others. The only thing all four share completely is the work — which is also the only thing none of them fully controls. Do not illustrate the agents literally. Let the shapes carry the logic. The shapes may be geometric or organic, regular or asymmetric — whatever AGENT determines best expresses the nature of each agent's boundary and overlap. Human assistant has to be #5 Color scheme notes: Silver, black, and white as structural colors — the palette of systems, governance, and administration. Accents of pastel colours, preferably something like pink, light blue, yellow, acid green may be used — not assigned to any specific agent, but placed where AGENT decides it has the most conceptual tension.
