Fully Stacked Mondrian Sudoku No.2C (2021) Digital Arts by Dr. Matthias Kerling

The popular game Sudoku originally goes back to the Latin squares of the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. Graphical representations have also been known for a long time. The aim is to arrange a set of colored squares in such a way that the solution results in a square again and each color occurs only once in each column and row.

In this artwork I combine latin squares with Mondrian's neoplasticism. Accordingly, a simple Mondrian Soduko consists of a total of 16 squares, which in turn are arranged into a square of four columns and four rows. In line with the colors used by Mondrian, they have a black frame and are colored with the primary colors red, blue and yellow as well as with white. In contrast to a Simple Mondrian Sudoku this artwork applies a third dimension as it stackes multiple Sudokus. This requires an additional restriction: each color occurs only once in each stack. In addition the usual squares were replaced by circles.

The artwork is available as fine art print (paper format 50 x 50 cm, print format 40 x 40 cm) on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308g/m2 in a Limited Edition of 25 pieces (Hahnenmühle Certificate of Authenticity) and will be signed by the artist.
