“Thicket No. 2,” created by Roni Horn in 1990, is a minimalist sculpture composed of plastic and aluminium. This artwork, representing minimalism in its design and execution, is currently on display at Tate Modern in London, UK.
The artwork comprises two geometric forms placed on a flat surface, with one significantly closer to the viewer than the other. Both elements are predominantly white, separated by a noticeable space that allows the eye to travel between them. At the base of the nearer form, the word “TIGER” is displayed prominently in bold, yellow capital letters, partially intersected by vertical segments of the form, creating a fragmented visual effect. The austere composition and the use of industrial materials reflect the minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing simplicity and the interaction between space, object, and viewer.
