Untitled 1960

Conrad Marca-Relli’s “Untitled” (1960) is a prime example of the artist’s signature style, known as “constructed painting.” The artwork is composed of various materials, including fabric, paper, and paint, which are layered and arranged to create an abstract composition. The work’s fragmented forms and textural surfaces reflect the artist's interest in exploring the physicality of materials and the process of creating art. The use of muted tones and natural materials evoke a sense of calmness and serenity, while the geometric shapes and abstract patterns add a touch of visual interest and dynamism. The work's intricate layers and subtle textures invite close examination and contemplation, revealing the artist’s meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with the interplay of light and shadow.
