Day Break 1997

"Day Break" (1997) is a painting by Belgian artist Bram Bogart (1921-2012). The artwork is characterized by its thick, impasto application of yellow paint, punctuated by a vertical column of white. Bogart was known for his abstract, gestural style and for his use of heavy impasto, a technique that creates a textural surface that is both tactile and visually striking. This piece showcases his distinctive use of color and texture, which contribute to the artwork's dynamic and expressive energy. The painting's title suggests a sense of dawn or new beginnings, which is echoed in the bright and optimistic colors.
