Lolo Artist Appraisal

Abstract Geometric Painting by Lolo

This is an abstract geometric painting, likely an oil on canvas as indicated by the context, showcasing a minimalist aesthetic with a dynamic arrangement of shapes and lines. The artwork features a predominantly white background, upon which a grid-like structure of thick black, red, orange, and blue lines is laid out. Interspersed within this grid are various geometric forms, including solid colored circles and half-circles in blue, orange, black, and red, as well as some rectangular and square elements. What makes this piece particularly intriguing are the three-dimensional elements visible: several of the circular and rectangular shapes appear to be raised or affixed to the canvas surface, creating a subtle sculptural relief. Examples include a blue circle in the upper left, an orange half-circle on the right edge, and a red circle in the lower central area, all of which exhibit a perceptible depth. The color palette is bold and primary, reflecting modernist or De Stijl influences, with a strong emphasis on contrasting hues. The lines and shapes are rendered with crisp, clean edges, suggesting meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible wear, damage, or repairs, indicating it has been well-preserved. It is housed in a simple, flat-profile black frame that complements the contemporary style of the artwork without distracting from it. A signature 'Lolo' is visible in the lower right corner, suggesting either the artist's name or pseudonym. Based on its style and execution, the painting likely dates from the mid to late 20th century or early 21st century.
