Abstract
'Lausanne Abstract' exemplifies Abstract art within the modernist movement, emphasizing experimentation and subjective expression. The painting features dynamic, non-representational forms created with layered Oil paints, evoking a sense of alienation from traditional moral and societal norms. Its textured surface includes elements reminiscent of Cardboard, adding a tactile dimension that challenges conventional aesthetics. Reflecting the modernist desire to transform human interaction with art, 'Lausanne Abstract' captures the movement’s core themes of abstraction, innovation, and a departure from prevailing conventions.
