Manuel Viola (1916-1987) - Gallos
Original work by master Manuel Viola titled The Roosters, executed in oil on canvas and signed.
The composition presents two roosters facing each other in a scene of dynamic tension, resolved with a gestural brushstroke, vibrant and charged with energy. The intense reds, electric yellows, and deep blacks build a dramatic atmosphere that directly connects with the material expressionism characteristic of the artist.
The strength of the stroke, the gestural charge, and the chromatic contrast place this work within Viola's most powerful language, where figuration becomes pure pictorial energy.
