Vieira da Silva, Helena | Les Grilles, 1961 — available on Composition Gallery
EA on crème Vélin paper, signed and numbered by hand in pencil. - Reference: Weelen 46
Helena Vieira da Silva's Les Grilles (1961) is an evocative lithograph that exemplifies her mastery in abstract expressionism. This limited edition print, executed on crème Vélin paper, captures the artist's fascination with architectural forms and geometric grids. The composition is densely layered with interwoven, vertical, and horizontal lines, creating a textured, grid-like pattern that appears to pulsate with depth. The delicate interplay of light and shadow within the structure gives an illusion of three-dimensional space, drawing the viewer into its maze-like complexity. Signed and numbered by hand, Les Grilles is a testament to Vieira da Silva's innovative approach to space and form, reflecting her significant influence in the realm of abstract art.

What is lyrical abstraction ?

What is lyrical abstraction ?

Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
