“Pushed-Up Ink” is an artwork created by Lee Ufan in 1964. It belongs to the art movement known as Abstract Expressionism and is categorized in the abstract genre.
The artwork is comprised of numerous black ink blots scattered across the canvas, forming a dense, textured pattern. The individual blot marks vary in size, creating a dynamic and almost rhythmic composition. The proximity of these blots to each other, coupled with the variation in ink density, gives the piece a richly tactile quality, inviting the viewer to contemplate both the individual marks and the overall visual impact. The abstract nature of the piece allows for multiple interpretations, characteristic of Abstract Expressionism, eliciting emotional and intuitive responses from its audience.
