Composição Cromática 2021

Thiago Boecan created this large-scale "Composição Cromática" painting using oil. The interplay of geometric forms and vibrant hues invites us to consider how abstraction can reflect broader social and cultural currents. Made in Brazil by an artist born in 1995, this work demonstrates the influence of globalized artistic movements. It builds on the legacy of geometric abstraction, a style that emerged in the early 20th century as artists sought to move beyond representational art. In Brazil, this movement gained momentum through the São Paulo Art Biennial, an institution founded in 1951 that promoted international artistic exchange. This work’s confident use of color and form challenges traditional notions of artistic representation, reflecting a progressive outlook that embraces innovation and experimentation. To fully appreciate this piece, one might research the history of abstract art in Brazil, tracing its connections to international trends and local artistic communities. The meaning of art is always tied to the society and institutions that give it value.
