The artwork, titled “Bumper” by artist Peter Alexander, was created in 1982 and belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement. It is classified within the figurative genre. Alexander’s work from this period often reflected a departure from minimalism, embracing a more expressive and emotional approach.
In the artwork, there’s a striking use of contrasting colors and shapes against a dark background. Bright, vibrant forms, appearing almost like bursts of light or energetic botanical figures, are depicted in the foreground. The dark backdrop serves to intensify the luminous quality of the forms, creating a visual impact that invites contemplation and engages the viewer in its dynamic composition. The intricate interplay of light and shadow, along with the delicately detailed dots and lines, showcases the artist’s skill in creating depth and movement within the piece.
