AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
European Neo-Expressionist School.
An oil painting that presents an everyday scene reinterpreted in a clearly neo-expressionist idiom, characterized by deliberate simplification of the figures, the use of bold, highly contrasted color planes, and a direct, almost primitive expressiveness that prioritizes emotion over descriptive detail.
The composition revolves around a group of characters arranged in a recognizable urban space, treated in a schematic and symbolic way. The figures, built with firm contours and flat color masses, convey a sense of intimacy and silent dialogue, reinforced by frontal stance and restrained gesturing. Color plays a leading role: reds, blues, yellows, and greens are boldly combined, generating visual tension and an internal rhythm in the scene.
The brushstroke is frank and confident, with a spontaneous execution that harks back to the European neo-expressionist currents of the late twentieth century, in which figuration is revived from a subjective and emotional viewpoint, moving away from academia and naturalistic representation.
A work of notable plasticity and contemporary character, suitable for collectors interested in expressive figuration and in the European currents of pictorial renewal.
The artwork is presented framed, with a frame that complements and enhances its visual presence, ready for exhibition.
