The artwork “Orange Cloud Over the Adriatic Sea” was created by Wolf Kahn in 1996. It is associated with the Figurative Expressionism movement and belongs to the genre of marina.
In this artwork, an expansive orange cloud magnificently stretches across the sky over the calm waters of the Adriatic Sea. The artist employs a vibrant color palette dominated by hues of orange and blue, creating a striking contrast between the warm, sunlit clouds and the cool, serene sea. The scene captures the tranquility of the ocean while accentuating the vibrant, almost surreal quality of the sky. The brushwork and textural elements evoke the essence of Figurative Expressionism, wherein the representation of the subject matter is intertwined with an expressive, evocative use of color and form, inviting the viewer to feel the atmospheric conditions and the scene’s mood.
