The artwork entitled “Estrutura de caixas de fósforos” was created by the artist Lygia Clark in 1964. This sculpture belongs to the Neo-Concretism art movement.
The artwork features a construction of matchboxes, strategically assembled and coated in a vivid red color. The geometric arrangement emphasizes a sense of structure and solidity. The matchboxes are stacked and adhered together to form a cohesive and three-dimensional piece, showcasing a careful balance of shapes and volumes. The monochromatic red tone unifies the elements, drawing attention to the form rather than the material. This sculpture exemplifies the artist’s exploration of space, form, and materiality within the Neo-Concretism movement.
