Armchair 1951

Alekos Kontopoulos' "Armchair," painted in 1951, is a vibrant example of abstract expressionism. This painting captures a sense of movement and dynamism, utilizing bold, gestural brushstrokes and a rich palette of colors. The thick paint application and fragmented forms create a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the abstract world of the composition. The subject matter, a chair, is reduced to its essential geometric forms, highlighting the artist's exploration of shape and color. This piece reflects Kontopoulos' unique artistic vision, showcasing his mastery of abstract expressionist techniques.
