Kooning's Approach to Form

Kooning’s approach to form is characterized by a dynamic interplay between abstraction and figuration. He often layers bold, gestural brushstrokes to create energetic, textured surfaces that evoke both recognizable shapes and abstract elements. His focus is on capturing spontaneous movement and emotional expression, blurring the line between clear representation and expressive gesture. Rather than aiming for precise realism, Kooning emphasizes the process of creation, allowing forms to emerge and evolve through energetic marks, resulting in works that feel alive, immediate, and full of tension.
