Descriptive title: Abstract composition in ochre, black and white. Author: Regina Maria de Oliveira. Date: 2000. Suggested technique: Oil on canvas; may visually include acrylic paint or mixed media.
Dimensions with frame: 82 × 122 cm. Dimensions without frame: 80 × 120 cm. Orientation: Horizontal. Probable country: Brazil. Style to select: Abstract Expressionism. Period: Contemporary. Large-scale abstract painting, structured on an ochre-gold background with vertical tonal variations. In the center, a dynamic concentration of black, white, gray, and yellow-ochre brushstrokes develops, applied with varying degrees of thickness. The broad, arched gestures impart movement to the composition, while the vertical drips, splashes, fine lines, and scraped areas introduce a contrast between spontaneity and control. Some areas exhibit pronounced impasto, especially in the white and ochre core, coexisting with dry passages where the brushstroke partially reveals the background. The ample free space surrounding the pictorial core accentuates the gestural force of the composition, simultaneously evoking an organic form, a bird in motion, or a landscape reduced to its essential elements. The work belongs to abstract expressionism of a gestural character, with some influence from lyrical abstraction.
