Bram Van Velde's Déchirure, lithograph, abstract composition with bold black and gray brushstrokes suggesting tension and fragmentation.

// Déchirure by Bram Van Velde, a 1977 lithograph, embodies the artist's exploration of abstract expressionism through bold, dynamic brushstrokes in black and shades of gray. The composition is dominated by sweeping, irregular shapes that intersect and overlap, creating a sense of tension and raw emotion. The title, which translates to Tear or Rift, suggests a theme of fragmentation or rupture, echoed in the forceful, almost violent strokes. Van Velde’s work often reflects existential themes, and this piece conveys a visceral depth, inviting viewers to feel the struggle and intensity of human experience through abstract form.

What is Art Informel?

Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
