Untitled 1953

This geometric abstract artwork was made by Verena Loewensberg with paint or ink on paper, though when is hard to tell, as she was working in this style across decades. The composition is all about simple forms, circles and semi-circles, arranged in an almost architectural manner. The yellow-orange colour is bold, almost like a construction site. The shapes look like they’ve been cut out and pasted on, giving it a graphic, almost digital feel, even though it's not. I am drawn to the way the geometric forms create a sense of balance and harmony. Each element seems carefully considered, contributing to the overall rhythm of the composition. The interplay between the positive and negative space adds depth, creating a dynamic visual experience. It reminds me a little of Sol LeWitt, but much warmer. It’s a piece that invites contemplation, letting you find new relationships and patterns each time you look at it.
