The artwork titled “Fakires (Fakirrak)” was created by Julian Schnabel in 1993. As part of the Neo-Expressionism movement, this piece falls within the figurative genre.
The artwork showcases a bold and expressive composition characterized by vigorous brushstrokes and a raw, spontaneous aesthetic. Dominated by abstract, gestural forms, the painting features a dynamic interplay of colors, textures, and lines. The centerpiece includes a wooden panel with smeared and textured pink and white paint resembling thick impasto, interspersed with black and red markings. Surrounding the panel is a background that appears splattered and sporadically colored, participating in the energetic aesthetic of Neo-Expressionism. The painting evokes an intense, visceral response through its combination of abstract gestures and figurative elements.
