The artwork titled “Untitled,” created by Zao Wou-Ki in 1956, belongs to the Art Informel movement and the abstract genre.
The artwork is characterized by a dynamic composition that features an interplay of vibrant red and muted gray and black hues. The central focus of the artwork is a chaotic yet harmonious blend of red splashes and forms, seeming to float within a vast space dominated by darker tones. The bold use of red creates a sense of fervor and intensity, contrasting sharply against the surrounding black and white, which gives the piece an evocative and contemplative atmosphere. The painting exhibits spontaneous brushwork and textured layers, emblematic of the Art Informel movement’s emphasis on expressing emotion and intuition over formal structure.
