This piece fits squarely within the lineage of Abstract Expressionism and its late 20th-century descendants. Its closest affinities are with:
• The New York School (1940s–60s): The gestural energy recalls Pollock, de Kooning, and Kline.
• Post-Painterly Abstraction (1960s–70s): The atmospheric use of sprayed color layers aligns with Morris Louis or Helen Frankenthaler.
• Contemporary Neo-Expressionism: The insistence on primal organic imagery (flower-like bursts, flame shapes) echoes artists like Anselm Kiefer or Cecily Brown, though with a lighter, more lyrical sensibility.

In short, it belongs to the Modern–Contemporary continuum of lyrical abstraction, an area still actively collected and exhibited, especially as institutions continue to re-examine Abstract Expressionism in relation to contemporary practice. See less
