Volumism: What is the Volumism in Art Movement
Comments on this blue painting.
Does this painting represent Volumism?
While this artwork shares some characteristics with Volumism, it’s not a clear-cut example of that style.
This piece is a more abstract expressionist, with elements that could be associated with various modern art movements.
Here’s a breakdown of what I observed:
Color Palette: The predominant use of blues and teals, with hints of yellow/gold, creates a depth and atmosphere reminiscent of water or sky.
Texture and Brushwork: There’s a strong emphasis on gestural brushstrokes and textural elements, which is common in abstract expressionism.
Composition: The painting has a sense of movement and flow, with forms that seem to emerge and recede within the space.
Abstraction: While there are hints of organic shapes, the overall composition is non-representational.
Depth: There is some sense of depth and layering, which could relate to Volumism’s interest in three-dimensionality, but it’s not as pronounced as typical Volumist works.
This piece seems to draw from various influences:
