This abstract painting features a bold and dynamic composition dominated by vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple. Geometric shapes and forms, including overlapping circles and angular lines, create a sense of depth and movement within the frame. The artist's use of clean, distinctive brushstrokes and a limited color palette results in a striking visual impact. This work appears to draw inspiration from the cubist and expressionist art movements, reflecting the artist's exploration of abstraction, color, and the human form. The intention behind this piece may be to evoke a sense of energy, emotion, and the human experience. ...
Sebastian Black is a painter and sculptor who depicts colourful, fragmented and multi-layered forms that confuse the delineation between abstraction and representation. Black’s paintings are playful, satirising the art world, the stereotypically sombre eye of the critic, and the outlandish speculations made by viewers when trying to determine the meaning of an artwork. An ode to the cubism of the early 20th century, Black’s works are like the Rorschach test; some portray drooping dog’s faces that also appear like female forms if viewed in a different way. Black seeks to unpick and reimagine the notion of abstraction in order to manipulate the viewer’s relationship, both with his works and with their own perceptions.
