After building up the surface textures of his works on a single base Asher Bilu began, during the 1970s, to create low-relief works in which various free-form elements were overlapped, raised and lowered in relation to each other. In Zone II the circular patterns and lines echo the cyclic rhythms of the universe where the various orbits of the planets trace overlapping paths and provide a structuring model for this work.’ 1.
