The artwork titled “Bichos” was created by artist Lygia Clark in 1965. It is part of the Neo-Concretism movement and falls under the installation genre.
The artwork comprises numerous abstract shapes, arranged in a seemingly chaotic manner on the floor. These formations are geometric and constructed in a variety of configurations, inviting viewers to engage with them physically and mentally. The pieces possess an interactive quality, embodying the principles of Neo-Concretism, which emphasizes viewer participation and the breaking down of boundaries between life and art. The installation also includes complementary geometric forms displayed on the walls, creating a harmonious yet dynamic spatial composition. The monochromatic palette enhances the focus on form and structure, underscoring Clark’s innovative approach to conceptual and interactive art.
