Reprezentarea Ferestrelor 1970

Gil Nicolescu’s “Reprezentarea Ferestrelor”, or Representation of Windows, uses oil on canvas to explore geometric abstraction. The painting is dominated by warm, earthy tones of rust, beige, and brown, creating a muted, almost melancholic atmosphere. The composition is structured around a series of nested rectangles. Nicolescu employs a limited palette, focusing on how subtle tonal variations can define form and space. The black and white elements disrupt the symmetry and add visual interest by echoing architectural motifs. Nicolescu’s work engages with structuralist ideas by reducing objects to their essential forms. The painting invites you to question what constitutes representation and how minimal elements can evoke complex ideas. Notice how the flat planes challenge traditional perspective, inviting you to consider the artwork's surface as both a physical object and a conceptual space. By emphasizing the materiality of paint and the geometric structure, Nicolescu offers a complex reflection on perception and representation.
