“The artwork, titled ‘Le Soleil Rouge,’ was created by Zao Wou-Ki in 1950 and belongs to the Art Informel movement. It is a figurative painting, characterized by its abstract representation and expressive use of color.”
The artwork depicts a vivid red sun as its focal point, centrally positioned against a background dominated by shades of green and yellow. The surrounding scenery includes delicate, intricate outlines of trees and foliage, contributing to the ethereal atmosphere. The trees, portrayed with dark, slender lines, seem to create a contrasting frame around the intense, radiant sun. Hints of other colors, including slight shades of brown and lighter areas, add depth and texture to the composition. The overall impression is one of a mystical landscape, where the bold red sun stands in stark contrast to the subdued, natural hues of its surroundings.
