The artwork, entitled “Amazonia Green,” created by Lygia Pape in 1989, is a part of the Neo-Concretism movement and falls under the genre of installation art.
The artwork presents a minimalist aesthetic through the use of geometric forms, specifically two circular green shapes that are slightly protruding from the wall onto which they are affixed. The circles appear in varying sizes and are composed of a solid, vivid green hue, symbolizing the lushness and density of the Amazonian rainforest. The simplicity of the design emphasizes spatial relationships and interactive perception, inviting viewers to engage with the piece beyond the conventional visual experience. The subtle variation in alignment between the circles creates a dynamic visual effect, playing with notions of depth and perspective that are central to Neo-Concretism.
