The artwork titled “City Jaguar” by artist Carlos Almaraz was created in 1988 and belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement. It is a figurative piece.
The artwork depicts a bold, vibrant figure reminiscent of a jaguar, portrayed in an urban landscape. The central figure stands out with its intense, dynamic colors, blending shades of red, purple, and orange, creating an almost surreal presence. Surrounding the jaguar figure, an abstract cityscape unfurls, characterized by turbulent, angular buildings and a dynamic use of color and brushstrokes. The background seems to pulsate with energy, embodying the restless vibrancy of city life. Small human figures at the bottom of the artwork appear dwarfed and in motion, perhaps suggesting the overpowering nature of the jaguar figure within the bustling urban environment. The combination of abstract and figurative elements exemplifies the Neo-Expressionist style, emphasizing emotional intensity and dramatic compositions.
