Despite her loyalty to the square, there is a subtle artistic trajectory, full of variation, that emerges here. Back in the 1980s, many of Inoue’s works featured diagonals and triangles within the square, with colorful brushstrokes that echo the angles of larger shapes. Moving forward, the artist experimented with blocks of color; in the late ’90s and early 2000s, she moved back to the grid. But her post-2000 works evidence a subtler exploration of color, minimalist and often monochromatic, as in the all-white Untitled (000147) (2005) or the blue-toned Untitled (00093) (2001).
