The artwork, titled “Eulogy on the extremely delicate things,” was created by Zao Wou-Ki in 1993. It belongs to the Art Informel movement and is an abstract work.
The artwork features an interplay of light and dark contrasts, created with fluid strokes of black ink on a white background. The composition evokes a sense of delicate, organic forms that seem to float within the space, creating an ethereal and ephemeral atmosphere. The abstract nature of the piece invites viewers to engage with it on a deeply personal and interpretive level, allowing for a multitude of readings and emotional responses. The use of subtle gradations and the careful placement of shapes and lines demonstrate the artist’s mastery of balance and harmony in the abstract genre.
