About Contra Relevo (Objeto N. 7)

“Contra Relevo (Objeto N. 7)” is an abstract artwork created by Lygia Clark in 1959, associated with the Neo-Concretism art movement. The artwork exemplifies the Neo-Concretist approach, which emphasizes the integration of geometric forms within a conceptual framework, challenging conventional perceptions of structure and space.

The artwork is composed of simple geometric shapes arranged in a dynamic configuration. It features two primary shades: a stark black and a crisp white. The form itself is a tilted square divided into two sections: one black and one white. The bottom half of the square is solid black, while the top is split, creating a juxtaposition between the black and the white sections. The clean lines and contrasting colors create a striking visual effect, showcasing the artist’s mastery of minimalist composition and spatial tension.
