The artwork, titled “Plate I from the portfolio Vulcanalogies,” was created by the artist Pierre Alechinsky in 1970. This piece is associated with the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls within the genre of figurative art. It is a part of the series “Vulcanologies.”
The artwork presents a dynamic composition dominated by vivid colors and abstract forms. Central to the piece is a fluid, serpentine shape rendered in deep red and dark blue, creating a compelling visual tension. The background features contrasting hues of green and white, interspersed with red patterns that add depth and complexity. The use of bold, expressive brushstrokes is characteristic of Alechinsky’s style, evoking a sense of movement and emotional intensity. The surrounding irregular shapes and lines contribute to the overall sense of spontaneity, making the artwork a striking example of Neo-Expressionist technique.
