Escala de cor #19 2009

"Escala de cor #19" is a 2009 work by Portuguese painter Pedro Calapez, known for his abstract and minimalist style. This artwork features a series of eight horizontal panels arranged vertically, each featuring a distinct color combination. The panels are painted in a simple, almost childlike manner, using bold and vibrant colors with subtle variations in tone, creating an optical illusion and emphasizing the inherent qualities of the colors themselves. This piece reflects Calapez's exploration of the interplay between color, form, and space, inviting viewers to contemplate the power and beauty of color in its purest form.
