The artwork titled “Eye of the Storm (Seachange XV)” was created by Norman Lewis in 1977. This piece, executed in oil paint, belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a vibrant and dynamic composition predominantly utilizing shades of blue. The central focal point consists of a swirling formation of organic, curvilinear shapes created with meticulous gradation, giving a sense of movement and depth. These shapes appear to coalesce and diverge, evoking the tumultuous and spiraling energy implied by the title “Eye of the Storm.” The skillful use of light and shadow within the circular forms enhances their three-dimensional illusion, while the stark contrast between the blue background and the luminous forms creates a captivating visual impact.
