The artwork, titled “Genesis,” was created by the artist Zao Wou-Ki in 1982. This piece belongs to the Art Informel movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork comprises an evocative interplay of black ink blotches against a predominantly white background. The upper section is dominated by irregular, dense forms that appear to merge and diverge, creating an impression of dynamic movement. Below, scattered ink marks give the suggestion of a landscape in flux, evoking a sense of spontaneity and abstraction characteristic of Zao Wou-Ki’s style. The simplicity of the color scheme, coupled with the complexity of the shapes, invites viewers to engage deeply with the textures and spatial relations within the composition.
