This powerful abstract composition, painted in 2006, captures a sense of primal energy and motion that may relate to the pictorial intensity of a bullfight. The artist employs a bold interplay of black, grey, and red, evoking the clash of strength and vitality characteristic of that symbolic Spanish spectacle. Thick impasto and gestural brushwork convey a visceral energy, while the layered greys and sweeping black forms suggest both chaos and structure. The vivid crimson accents break through the darker masses like flashes of movement and emotion, emphasizing drama and tension. Executed with striking textural depth and painterly vigor, the work reflects the expressive physicality of postwar abstraction. With its balance of violence and elegance, it evokes both the brutality and beauty of raw instinct captured in artistic form.
