Mixed media on paper. // Barcelona II (N8) by Jannis Kounellis, created in 2003, is a mixed media work on paper that exemplifies the artist's raw, expressive approach to materials and composition. The piece is dominated by thick, rough black strokes that form an abstract grid-like structure, filling much of the surface with dense, textured marks. The chaotic, almost oppressive black forms contrast with patches of exposed white paper, creating a stark and powerful interplay of light and dark. The inscription N8 at the top adds a cryptic element, perhaps hinting at a sequence or a symbolic meaning within the work. Known for his association with Arte Povera, Kounellis often incorporated non-traditional materials and bold gestures in his art, emphasizing the physicality of his process. This piece evokes a sense of confinement or enclosure, inviting viewers to interpret its intense and visceral energy.

What is Arte Povera?
A movement and style in art that originated in Italy during the 1960s. It integrates elements of minimalism, performance art, and conceptual art by using everyday or seemingly worthless materials, such as newspapers, stones, or rags. The goal was to challenge and subvert the commercialization of art.
