Minimal Reductive (cont’)

Minimal Reductive (cont’) is the second iteration of Minimal Reductive, which first launched in February 2025. This exhibition is part of a larger series of minimalism- focused shows initiated by art collector and Justin Art House Museum (JAHM) Director Charles Justin, planned for 2025—including presentations at JAHM and Charles Nodrum Gallery. The series highlights the diverse interpretations of minimalism across different contexts.

At Five Walls Gallery, Minimal Reductive examines the enduring legacy of Minimalism and Post-Minimalism in painting, photography, and sculpture. Featuring twelve contemporary artists from Australia, China, Germany, Japan, and New Zealand, the exhibition explores reductive art through a range of material and conceptual approaches. Rather than treating reduction as a purely formal exercise, the participating artists embrace it as a fluid, dynamic process—one that intertwines restraint with experimentation.

Their works invite dialogue, positioning reduction not as an endpoint but as a means of exploring perception, colour, form, space, and time. In doing so, the exhibition expands the discourse around minimalism and reductivism, reaffirming their relevance and adaptability in contemporary art.
