Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork showcases a bold and striking composition of geometric shapes and vibrant colors. The predominant hues are blue, black, red, and yellow, which are arranged in a symmetrical and dynamic pattern. At the center, a large black "X" shape is framed by a red circular element, creating a strong focal point. The overall style is geometric and minimalist, with a sense of balance and visual tension. This piece appears to be an example of abstract expressionist or modernist art, potentially exploring themes of symbolism or universal forms. The artist's intention may have been to evoke a sense of energy, movement, or deeper meaning through the use of simplified, yet powerful visual elements. ...

Artist
Rubem Valentim
B.1922, Brazilian

Ruben Valentim was a self-taught Brazilian artist, who primarily worked with painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Born in 1922, Valentim began making art in the late 1940s, earnestly trying to develop a specific visual language which could speak to Brazil’s complex cultural heritage. The Concrete and Neo-Concrete movements in Brazil were flourishing in this era. However, Valentim felt a need to cultivate an artistic vernacular in order to meditate on the intricacies of the national identity as well as weave together formal geometric fragments with the spiritual iconography of Afro-Brazilian religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda. Whilst artists such as Lygia Pape and Waldemar Cordeiro were stretching geometric shapes in a purist, modernist lens, Valentim applied this methodology to drawings and diagrams representing the orishas or deities of Afro-Brazilian religions. The works themselves have a distinctly joyous, sacred tone to them, with wooden totems organically spiralling upwards and his acrylic canvases boldly placing symbols in undiluted, highly pigmented strokes. Valentim is continuing to gain recognition posthumously for his immense body of work and his enduring practice, gaining much critical attention following a retrospective show at Museu de Arte de São Paulo in 2019. ...
