Untitled 1996

Amilcar de Castro's 1996 "Untitled" is an abstract painting of black and red lines on a white background. The bold brushstrokes, suggestive of a window frame, evoke a sense of dynamism and are characteristic of the Brazilian artist's minimalist style. The single splash of red adds a surprising element of color, disrupting the monochrome composition and drawing the viewer's attention to the space it inhabits. While the work is abstract, it seems to allude to geometric forms and spatial relationships. De Castro, known for his sculptures and paintings exploring structural and spatial themes, invites viewers to consider the interplay between the lines and the negative spaces they create.
