OB.CCCLVIII, 1976
The painting ‘Ob.CCCLVIII’ created by Stefan Gierowski in 1976 is an abstract work made with oil technique on canvas measuring 110×110 cm. The artist consistently renounced literary titles, marking his works with Roman numerals. During this period, he focused on the expression of color, light, and line, which give the painting dynamism and energy. The painting shows rhythmic spatial division and contrasting color patches, and the light in the form of white square at the bottom adds spiritual depth.
