A vibrant and dynamic composition by the Chilean Surrealist master Matta, this richly layered pastel work pulses with cosmic energy and biomorphic forms that seem to hover between the organic and the mechanical. Swirling fields of color give way to mysterious, ambiguous figures that inhabit an otherworldly psychological space, characteristic of Matta's deeply personal visual language. The use of pastel on wove paper, mounted to canvas on stretcher, lends the work an intimate yet monumental quality, bridging the boundary between drawing and painting.
