ONLINE: Gestures

Gestures features an exceptional selection of works by John Chamberlain, Sam Gilliam, Antoni Tàpies, Roy Lichtenstein, and Nelo Vinuesa. From Chamberlain's dynamic sculptures to Lichtenstein's bold brushstrokes, the works presented here explore the enduring power of gestures and mark-making. Celebrating the expressive and perceptive possibilities of post-war abstraction, these pieces invite viewers to reflect on the physical presence and emotional resonance of artistic gestures, bridging the gap between the artist’s body and the viewer’s experience.

Among the works, Sam Gilliam’s vivid abstractions exemplify the energetic and experimental spirit of gestural art. Antoni Tàpies’ textured surfaces evoke a raw physicality, blending materiality and meaning. Nelo Vinuesa’s contemporary interpretations push the boundaries of mark-making, engaging with modern perspectives on abstraction. Roy Lichtenstein’s painted gestures, with their characteristic graphic intensity, provide a playful yet profound commentary on the act of creation. Together, these works celebrate the transformative power of gestures in art, offering a dynamic exploration of movement, expression, and the relationship between artist and viewer.
