The artwork, titled “Untitled (Jewelry series)” and created by Jay DeFeo in 1977, belongs to the movement of Abstract Expressionism and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork manifests a composition of fluid and dynamic brush strokes that converge towards a central structure, dominating its minimalistic background. The piece employs a monochrome palette, primarily featuring shades of black and gray, with hints of lighter tones. The sweeping, curved lines create a sense of motion and depth, while the stark contrast against a light, almost bare canvas emphasizes the central forms, inviting viewers to explore the interplay of shadow and light. The overall aesthetic conveys an essence of spontaneity and expressive force characteristic of Abstract Expressionism.
