Serie 4x4 2012

"Serie 4x4" (2012) by Sofia Areal (1960- ) is an abstract black and white ink painting, showcasing the artist's bold and expressive brushstrokes. The work features three large, rounded forms rendered in black ink, set against a stark white background. Their interplay creates a dynamic visual rhythm that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The artist's use of minimal color and a focus on gestural lines echoes the principles of abstract expressionism. The intimate scale of the work (57 x 77 cm) invites close contemplation and a deeper engagement with its intricate details. Areal's minimalist style is a captivating blend of form and gesture, inviting viewers to experience the interplay of light and shadow, and the power of the artist's hand.
