Lunario

"Lunario" by Afro (1974) exemplifies the artist's mastery within the Art informel movement, emphasizing spontaneous gestural expression and textured surfaces. Afro, a prominent Brazilian artist, is known for his dynamic abstract compositions that blend energetic brushwork with a tactile, painterly approach. The title "Lunario," meaning lunar calendar, suggests an exploration of cyclical rhythms and celestial influences, although the work itself embodies a vivid, visceral engagement with form and material. The piece’s gestural technique and layered surfaces reflect the free, expressive spirit emblematic of Art informel while anchoring itself in an abstract visual language.
