About Encounter

The artwork titled “Encounter,” created by the artist Carmen Herrera in 2009, belongs to the Color Field Painting movement. It is an abstract genre piece characterized by its use of bold and solid areas of color.

In “Encounter,” a minimalistic approach is evident. The artwork features a predominantly blue background, with the central focus being a sharp, white diagonal line. This line is interrupted near the middle, where it forms an angular, notched connection before continuing. The stark contrast between the deep blue and the crisp white creates a striking visual impact, emphasizing the simplicity and geometric precision that is typical of Color Field Painting. The composition invites contemplation on space, form, and color interaction, demonstrating Herrera’s mastery in creating compelling abstract art through minimal but deliberate design.
