The artwork “Surplus Precarity,” created by the artist DZ in 2020, is a figurative piece.
This piece features a series of abstract, loosely rendered shapes arranged vertically. The shapes, varying in size and form, exhibit an interplay of muted and earthy tones, predominantly pinks, browns, and yellows. The abstract forms appear to be balanced precariously one atop another, suggesting a sense of instability and tension. This composition on a white background enhances the focus on the balancing shapes and the textures within each form, highlighting their organic, almost visceral quality. The minimalistic backdrop contrasts with the complex, richly textured forms, emphasizing the theme of precarity in the arrangement.
