ABOUT THE WORK

Hailed as ”the painter's painter” by none other than fellow artist Fernando Zobel, Arturo Luz's universal appeal comes from his unmatched command over his craft. Using his signature palette of black, red, and white, Luz's work entitled Abstract Improvisation IV showcases his keen attention to detail through his clean and flawless linework stemming from his unfaltering brushstrokes and application. The clarity and sparseness of forms is an undeniable characteristic of a Luz artwork, not to mention the visual balance that is evoked throughout the work’s horizontal orientation. With his brand of geometric abstraction, this modernist master proves that minimalism is not merely a style but a strategy in distilling an experience or an object into its purest, most evocative language.
