Ladislas Kijno - Abstract Composition - signed and numbered serigraph
Commitment at the Heart of Abstraction
While Ladislas Kijno is globally recognized as one of the masters of lyrical abstraction, his art was never disconnected from the realities of the world. For this rebellious artist, abstraction was not an escape, but a universal language capable of conveying values of fraternity and social justice. Throughout his life, Kijno sought to bring art out of restricted circles to reach a wider audience, regularly collaborating on activist and popular projects where the artwork becomes a vector for dialogue and emancipation.
Radical Visual Power
This 1971 composition demonstrates the artist's plastic strength. The black background used here acts as an energy revealer, projecting forms toward the viewer. The bold areas of red, blue, and yellow create a dynamic tension with the gray masses and their hazy outlines, characteristic of his period of full maturity.

Studio Cinquante's Opinion
We are particularly drawn to the "nocturnal" and electric aspect of this serigraph. It perfectly embodies the era of the 1970s when artists sought to create an immediate and powerful visual impact. It is a work with immense "breath" that asserts its presence. We recommend presenting it under high-quality glass to preserve the depth of the black and the brilliance of the primary colors. It will naturally find its place in a collection seeking to combine graphic rigor and historical depth.
