The artwork, titled “Barco,” is created by the artist Wols and belongs to the Art Informel movement, falling within the genre of figurative art.
The artwork depicts a ship rendered in a style that is characteristic of the Art Informel movement, featuring a network of intricate, abstract lines and forms. The ship’s structure is outlined through a series of faint, erratic lines that suggest both the shape and the texture of the vessel, creating a dynamic and somewhat chaotic visual experience. The background appears to be an extension of these lines, providing a sense of movement and fluidity that enhances the ship’s form. The use of these lines gives the piece an almost skeletal quality, evoking a sense of fragility and impermanence. The overall tone of the artwork is contemplative, inviting viewers to explore the complexities and subtleties hidden within the seemingly chaotic composition.
