Collection: ATUH Page 238 - Empathy Scaffold Unity Collection

The image titled Empathy Scaffold Unity is a vertical, Tachism style artwork that symbolically represents the concept of empathy as the scaffold for unity. Tachism, often associated with abstract expressionism, is characterized by the spontaneous, brisk application of paint creating a sense of dynamism and emotional exuberance on canvas. Visually, the painting is a complex and harmoniously organized chaos of colors and forms. Warm and cool hues are masterfully blended, with predominant golden yellows and ambers cascading into cooler blues and grays towards the bottom. The various shades are segmented and juxtaposed, forming a geometrical yet fluid mosaic that seems to rise and fall within the confines of the canvas, suggesting growth, interconnection, and continuity. Circular motifs of different sizes punctuate the array, resembling nodes or junctions within a network. Straight, vertical and horizontal lines traverse through the circles, creating a sense of structure amid the abstract composition. Dots and smaller circular forms appear to float across the image, imparting a sense of motion and cosmic alignment. The artwork, devoid of letterboxing or borders, allows the viewer s eye to travel unrestrained over the image, interpreting the expressive strokes and orchestrated chaos as a metaphor for the intricate web of empathy that supports and unites humanity. The use of vibrant colors and the interplay of shapes emphasize the interconnected nature of human experiences, resonating with the artwork s title and its profound thematic underpinnings.
