“Wheels of Fortune” is an abstract artwork by the artist Arman, created in 1995 and belonging to the Nouveau Réalisme art movement. The artwork showcases a dynamic and vibrant composition, encompassing an array of colors and textures.
The artwork features a chaotic yet visually engaging arrangement of paintbrushes and strokes that emanate from two central, wheel-like forms. It is saturated with an energetic mix of yellows, greens, blues, and oranges that blend and contrast, creating a sense of movement and intensity. The paintbrushes within the composition appear to be positioned in a manner that evokes the idea of spokes or the rotation of wheels, lending to the artwork’s title. The overall effect is one of controlled disorder, demonstrating Arman’s innovative approach to abstract expression and assemblage within the framework of Nouveau Réalisme.
