Untitled 1974

Verena Loewensberg’s untitled painting is an enigmatic circle painted over a series of bright angular lines. I wonder what it was like for her, the artist, to bring this painting into being. I can imagine her carefully plotting those flat planes of color, but how does the circle come into it? It’s like she’s trying to resolve something, to contain or obscure the geometry beneath. The circle feels like a moment of improvisation, a way of questioning the relationships between form and space. Loewensberg was clearly in conversation with other artists, and I think this painting offers an alternative way of seeing and experiencing the world through the language of abstraction. It takes so much courage to let go and trust that something meaningful will emerge. Ultimately, it reminds me that painting is always an invitation. The canvas is a space where we can embrace ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings.
