Abstract Figure Composition – Follower of the Cobra Group – Signed & Dated

Description
This expressive composition, signed and dated 1993, presents a dynamic arrangement of abstracted humanoid forms rendered in bold gestural strokes. The work employs a vivid palette dominated by saturated greens, deep blues, and flashes of yellow and violet, creating an energetic contrast that enhances the emotional charge of the scene. Layered brushwork, scraping marks, and textured passages give the surface a raw immediacy often associated with post-war European experimentation. The spatial tension between the central figure and the surrounding silhouettes evokes movement, conflict, and transformation, aligning strongly with the improvisational spirit of the Cobra movement. The interplay of light and shadow heightens the sense of depth, while the loose contours maintain a deliberately primitive, intuitive sensibility. The piece stands as a striking statement of mid-to-late 20th-century abstract figuration and would complement environments seeking a bold, expressive focal point.
