“Amazonino #1,” a sculpture created by the artist Lygia Pape in 1989, is a distinguished piece within the Neo-Concretism art movement. This artwork exemplifies the genre of sculpture, and its conception dates back to the late 20th century, contributing to the broader dialogue of abstract and geometric art characteristic of this movement.
The sculpture is visually composed of a central square form around which seven circular discs are evenly distributed. These discs, like the central square, are rendered in a uniform red color, creating a strong visual contrast against what appears to be the neutral background. The simplicity of geometric shapes and the monochromatic color scheme demonstrate the Neo-Concrete emphasis on sensory experience and perceptual engagement. The arrangement of the elements suggests a rhythm and balance, inviting viewers to contemplate the harmony of basic geometrical forms and their interaction in space.
