The artwork, “Angel,” was created by Luc Tuymans in 1992 in Belgium. This painting, belonging to the New European Painting movement, was executed using oil on canvas. The dimensions of the artwork are 66 x 60.8 cm, and it falls within the genre of symbolic painting.
In “Angel,” Luc Tuymans depicts an angelic figure whose identity is obscured, facing away from the viewer. The figure, portrayed in muted tones, possesses wings that are prominently green, offset against a gray background. The brushstrokes appear deliberate and textured, giving the piece an ethereal and somewhat abstract quality. The simplicity and muted color palette of the artwork evoke a somber, contemplative mood, prompting viewers to ponder the symbolism and deeper meaning behind the angelic subject.
