The artwork titled “Metaesquema,” created in 1957 by Helio Oiticica, belongs to the Neo-Concretism art movement and is classified under the abstract genre.
In this artwork, various geometric shapes are systematically arranged against a neutral background. The shapes are mainly composed of repetitive black lines, creating a sense of rhythm and dynamism. The orderly yet intricate pattern reflects the principles of Neo-Concretism, emphasizing structure, spatial relationships, and the interaction between shapes and background. The restrained color palette of black lines against a beige backdrop highlights the formal qualities of the composition, embodying the abstract nature of Oiticica’s work.
