Parallel Curves by Sol LeWitt is composed of richly colored lines orchestrated in a geometrically abstract composition exploring shape, form, and dimension. This work challenges both the perception of the viewer, as well as contemporary notions of visual aesthetics. Simple lines transform into a series of forms and patterns, creating a nonrepresentational field of depth.

American artist Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) is renowned as a founding member of both Minimalist and Conceptual art. Much of LeWitt's oeuvre is grounded in seriality, as he endeavored to reduce art to the most basic shapes, colors, and lines using systems of permutations and variations in his sculptures, prints, and drawings. His work has been exhibited internationally and in 2000 a major retrospective of his work was held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
