I am very excited to share that my first book, The Art of Less – An Exploration of Essence, created in collaboration with Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen @jonasbjerrepoulsen, was published today. This book means a lot to me, as it is the result of many years of exploration, research, and passion for an aesthetic that has stayed with me for a long time. When I founded Aesence over ten years ago, it was guided by a simple conviction: that art with a minimalist aesthetic is not a style but a way of perceiving. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to promote and celebrate this aesthetic and to show how rich, nuanced, and powerful it can be. That is why I am all the more delighted that my inquiry over the past years has led to The Art of Less. Together with Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects @normarchitects - whose work has significantly shaped contemporary minimalism in architecture and design - we have developed a book that brings together 20 artists, designers, and architects demonstrating how diverse a minimalist practice can be. Organized into five chapters – Balance, Rhythm, Contrast, Space, and Materiality – the book offers different perspectives through which these works can be experienced. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this book – the artists, designers, architects, galleries, photographers, and all those who supported it along the way. Design and Art Direction: Christian Møller Andersen @christianmandersen Editor and Writer: Emily Nathan @emilyknathan Copy Editor: Tracy Rothschild Lynch Published by Gestalten @gestalten The book is available in Europe since September 1 and will be available worldwide starting October 6. → The book is available for purchase via gestalten.

When I founded Aesence nearly ten years ago, I could never have imagined where this project would lead or how many inspiring people I would get to meet through it. Your messages and the conversations with you mean the world to me. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming year, as I’ve been working on a special, collaborative project for some time now that I’ll soon be able to share more about 🤫. Until then, I look forward to many more inspiring interviews, exhibitions, amazing people and minimalist art. Thank you for being a part of it. 🤍 Sarah © Artworks (in order of appereance): @enrich.r_ at @circleculture.gallery , @nuriamaria_nm at @alzueta_galleryparis , Agnes Martin at @boursedecommerce , Mark Rothko at @fondationlv , Lee Ufan at Bourse de Commerce, Robert Ryman at @museeorangerie , Meg Webster at Bourse de Commerce, Agnes Martin at @museumbarberini 23 Dec 2025

"Maria Yelletisch approaches painting through repetition. Her canvases are built from carefully placed brushstrokes that accumulate into quiet fields of color and gesture. Up close, the surface reveals hundreds of small marks; from a distance they settle into calm horizons and atmospheric landscapes. Inspired by the recurring patterns she observes in nature – waves, grasses, shifting bands of sky and water – Yelletisch translates these rhythms into a visual language of patient repetition, where subtle variation within the sequence keeps the surface alive."

For William McKeown (1962 – 2011), painting was a quiet dialogue with nature. Inspired by his rural upbringing, he created minimalist, often monochrome works shaped by ideas of happiness, freedom, and attentiveness to the beauty of everyday life. © Image Courtesy Casey Kaplan Gallery New York #aesence #contemporaryminimalism #minimalistart #minimalpainting 03 Nov 2026

New works by Ekaterina Galera @ekaterinagalera from her new series “Extension”. Earlier this year I had the pleasure to ask her 3 questions about her work. She told me about the slow, material-oriented approach that defines her painting practice.

Some time ago I had the pleasure of speaking with Aotearoa New Zealand-based artist Cindy Leong @cindyleong__ about her work. Her abstract minimalist paintings are characterized by thousands of repetitive brushstrokes that create an even texture and reveal an impressive meditative depth. In this interview, I talked to Cindy about her path to art, the influence of Buddhism and Taoism on her work, and how she uses painting as a meditative practice. → You can read this and more interviews on aesence.com #aesence #contemporaryminimalism #minimalistart #minimalpainting #abstractminimalism 27 Oct 2026

Swedish artist Ylva Carlgren (b. 1984) @ylvacarlgren fascinates with subtle, atmospheric watercolor paintings that captivate with their nuanced play of light and shadow. Her remarkable work is featured in the book ‘The Art of Less - An Exploration of Essence’. Available via link in bio. Featured Artwork: Falling Behind, 2024 Watercolor on paper 73 x 53cm Artwork Photography by Olof Ringmar. And for those of you who would like to see her work in person, you can do so until November 21 in Munich at Galerie Leu @galerieleu #aesence #contemporaryminimalism #minimalistart #minimalpainting 23 Oct 2026

In our latest feature, Australian artist Tara McIntosh @taramcintosh shared with me how memory takes shape within the materials of her paintings. Working with angle grinders and Dremel tools, she removes layers of paint, leaving traces of earlier interventions visible. Materials are reused, becoming the foundation for new works. Beneath their muted colors and quiet surfaces, her paintings hold evidence of a physical process, leaving space for the viewer’s own memories and emotions. → Full article on aesence.com - Link in bio. #aesence #minimalistaesthetics #contemporaryminimalism #minimalistart #emerging 20 Oct 2026

Jean-Baptiste Besançon @jean_baptiste_besancon Painting 160/130 cm 2026 A few months ago I had the pleasure to talk to Jean-Baptiste about his work. He talked about his path from design to painting, the evolution of his work, and the kind of presence he hopes his paintings can offer the viewer.

Until the late 19th century, Western art was predominantly oriented toward the representation of the visible world. In the course of Modernism, however, artists began to question conventional boundaries and definitions of art and to break away from traditional forms of expression. For af Klint, Kandinsky, and Malevich, abstraction opened a path toward the spiritual. Throughout the 20th century, artists such as Martin and Reinhardt explored silence and contemplation, while artists like Judd emphasized physical presence and perception. A restrained artwork alone tells us little about the questions and thoughts that led an artist toward it. Perhaps this is what makes minimalist art so easy to misunderstand. We see the reduction, but not necessarily the thinking behind it. → You can read this and many more essays on aesence.com Title image: Hilma af Klint, The Swan, No. 17, 1914 - 1915, Oil on canvas, 150.5 × 151 cm, Image is available under Creative Commons Zero (CC0), Public Domain #aesence #essayonminimalistart #minimalart #minimalistart #contemporaryminimalism 13 Oct 2026

Hideaki Yamanobe Klangassoziationen 2025-06, 2025 Acrylic, mixed media on nettle 28 x 23 cm Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to interview Yamanobe.
