Encounter I and Encounter II are exemplary works from Dato’ Tajuddin Ismail’s exploration of minimalist abstraction, reflecting his architectural sensibilities and design background. These offset lithographs, part of a limited edition of 500 each, showcase the artist’s commitment to geometric harmony and spatial balance. In Encounter I, the composition likely features intersecting forms and a restrained colour palette, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between structure and void. Encounter II continues this dialogue, possibly presenting a variation in form or hue that complements its counterpart. Together, they exemplify Tajuddin’s philosophy that art should evoke a sense of serenity and introspection.
