The artwork titled “Hawk,” created by Nathan Oliveira in 1989, belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of animal painting.
The artwork predominantly features a hawk, rendered with striking monochromatic tones that imbue the scene with a sense of intensity and brooding atmosphere. The hawk is positioned against a stark, dark background, emphasizing its form and presence. Oliveira’s brushstrokes and use of light and shadow create depth and texture, capturing the essence and majesty of the bird. The piece exudes a dramatic, almost somber mood, characteristic of the Neo-Expressionist style, focusing on raw emotion and the expressive potential of the subject.
