Product description
At a large scale (clearly visible compared to the human figure), the work becomes almost immersive. It is not simply an object to behold, but an experience—the viewer is drawn into the rhythm of the artist's movements and the tension between order (the circular shapes) and chaos (the splatters and jagged lines).
Overall, the painting can be read as a dialogue between control and spontaneity, characteristic of abstract painting influenced by action painting and abstract expressionism, but expressed through Lenartowicz's distinctly personal visual language.
Total size: 172 x 110 cm
Size after stretcher: 162 x 100 cm
The painting is signed on the back of the canvas.
Photos of the painting with the frame are for reference only.
Due to its size, the canvas will be shipped rolled. Michał Lenartowicz's "Abstract Composition" is a striking example of contemporary gestural abstraction, in which movement, energy, and the tension between form and color play a central role.
The painting is dominated by broad black and graphite brushstrokes arranged in circular, almost ring-like forms. These recurring shapes could evoke cycles, infinity, or rhythm, but they are far from geometrically precise—they are dynamic and raw, as if created in a single, impulsive movement. Visible traces of friction, variations in pressure, and breaks in the line emphasize the physicality of the painting process.
In contrast to the restrained palette of black, gray, and off-white, intense, blood-red accents immediately capture the eye. The red is not decorative; it feels like a sudden rupture, an emotional eruption, or the intrusion of chance. Splashes and blotches of red create drama and elevate the work beyond a purely formal exercise into the realm of emotional impact. Thin, chaotic lines resembling ink drawings or scratches across the surface add a sense of nervousness and layered complexity. They invite prolonged viewing, as the eye continually discovers new connections between apparent markings and the surrounding space.
