The artwork titled “Iridescent Compenetration” was created by Giacomo Balla around the year 1913 in Italy. This piece, rendered in watercolor on paper, belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is classified within the abstract genre. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
The artwork showcases an array of interlacing, multi-colored diamond shapes meticulously arranged in a tessellated pattern. The diamonds are filled with vibrant hues, including reds, yellows, blues, greens, and purples, creating a visual interplay that exudes a sense of dynamic movement and optical vibrancy. The composition epitomizes Balla’s exploration of light and color, characteristic of the Futurist influence on his abstract work, and demonstrates his skill in achieving harmony through geometric forms and chromatic contrasts.
