Desdobramento (Unfolding) (1978) by Iberê CamargoIberê Camargo Foundation
'Desdobramento' was painted by Brazilian artist Iberê Camargo in 1978.
The painting abandons the idea of structure, creating more free and loose shapes within the work.
Camargo's painting has similarities with the abstract expressionist nature of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning's work.
If you zoom into the paint, you can see the overlapping brushstrokes and the mixing of colors.
The imperfect-ness of the painting is said to represent the imperfect nature of life.
Despite being painted six years earlier, Camargo also created another painting under the name 'Desdobramento II', which uses a similar style and color palette.
