The artwork, titled “Avenza,” was created by the notable artist Louise Bourgeois in the year 1969 in the United States. It belongs to the Confessional Art movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
The sculpture features an organic and textural aesthetic, resembling a cluster of rounded, bulbous forms that appear to be compressed together. The surface has a rough, almost coarse texture, adding to the raw and tactile quality of the piece. These forms are set against a hardwood floor, contrasting the natural irregularities of the sculpture with the smooth and structured lines of the flooring. The earthy tones of the sculpture further emphasize its natural and unrefined appearance, inviting viewers to contemplate its form and the emotions it evokes.
