Artwork location: Belgium

This artwork is a vibrant and arresting piece that commands attention through its bold use of color and abstract forms. The composition is a chaotic yet harmonious blend of vibrant hues, predominantly featuring shades of blue, green, red, yellow, and black. These colors are applied with an energetic and almost frenetic brushstroke technique, evoking a sense of movement and raw emotion. At the forefront, the viewer is confronted with two abstract figures. The figure on the right appears to have exaggerated, almost skeletal features, with large, hollow eyes and a wide, grinning mouth, suggesting a skull-like visage. The use of black outlines against the vivid colors enhances its striking, almost haunting presence. The figure on the left is less defined but equally compelling, adorned in a mélange of colors and forms that intermingle to create a sense of depth and complexity. The background is a whirlwind of blues and whites, creating a dynamic contrast that makes the figures pop out even more. This use of negative space and unrefined lines adds to the overall sense of spontaneity and chaos, making the viewer feel as though they are peering into the unfiltered psyche of the artist. One of the unique aspects of this piece is its ability to elicit a variety of interpretations and emotions. The ambiguity of the forms and the intensity of the colors work together to create a powerful visual experience that is open to personal interpretation. The bold, expressive brushwork and the mixture of abstract forms embody the spirit of modern expressionism, making this piece a significant and thought-provoking addition to any collection. In summary, this artwork stands out due to its vivid coloration, dynamic composition, and the raw energy of its abstract forms. It is a compelling representation of modern expressionism, teeming with emotion and open to a myriad of interpretations, making it a truly captivating piece.

Helder Batista, On the way to school
France  • 1964

Presentation

Helder Batista was born in 1964 in the south of France.

With a critical eye on the world that surrounds him, Helder Batista proposes a playful interpretation of a symbol of power and strength: the revolver. The gun is wrapped in the flag of different countries, a proof that his art has no borders.
