Eclipsa 1999

"Eclipsa" (1999) by Romanian artist Gil Nicolescu (1942-2020) is an abstract painting that uses a limited color palette of yellow, orange, and brown to create a sense of depth and movement. The work is characterized by a central, bright yellow pathway that splits into two smaller, framed sections on either side, creating a sense of an optical illusion and spatial ambiguity. The framed sections are filled with gestural, abstract shapes and lines, reminiscent of an urban landscape. This piece exemplifies Nicolescu's artistic style and his exploration of geometric forms, color, and light.
