“Gravure, Uno” is a figurative artwork created by acclaimed artist Wifredo Lam in 1967, belonging to the Surrealism art movement. The artwork exemplifies Lam’s distinctive style, merging surrealist influences with his own cultural heritage.
The artwork presents an intricate array of abstract, elongated forms and figures, rendered in a manner characteristic of Surrealism. The composition is a dynamic interplay of lines, shapes, and textures, depicting fantastical, otherworldly creatures intertwined in a dreamlike tableau. The figures appear in a sparse, almost skeletal form, evoking a sense of movement and fluidity. The color palette is subtly muted, with shades of beige and soft hues contrasted by darker elements, creating a hauntingly mysterious atmosphere. This piece encapsulates the surrealist penchant for exploring the subconscious mind through visually complex and symbolically rich imagery.
