Description

The work Composition in Red belongs to the Dorados series by visual artist Jacqueline Schreier. In this contemporary painting, the colors red and black become the absolute protagonists within a square format—chosen by the artist for its balance and visual stability. The canvas, always framed by a black background, is transformed into a stage where red vibrates with intensity, dialoguing with the darkness that surrounds it.

Here, Schreier explores lyrical abstraction through mixed media using acrylic and gold leaf, experimenting with textures and chromatic fusions that pose a visual question: who devours whom, black devours red or red devours black? A horizontal gold line crosses the upper part of the canvas, initiating a process of “invasion” that adds tension and dynamism to the composition.

With this series, the artist delves into an abstract expressionist language, close to Dadaism, moving away from the figurative style that marked much of her previous work. The work maintains the experimental and poetic character that characterizes Jacqueline Schreier's work, where color, matter, and formal balance intertwine.

The piece includes a black wooden frame and measures 52.5 x 52.5 x 4 cm (with frame) - 20.6 W x 20.6 H x 1.57 inches - and 50 x 50 cm (without frame). It is signed on the front and back, reinforcing its authenticity and value as an original work.

Available in the And-Art Works catalog, Composition in Red is a representative example of how Jacqueline Schreier has managed to take contemporary painting into her own territory, where the power of color, the presence of gold, and the tension between opposites generate a unique visual language.

Artist

Jacqueline Schreier

Jacqueline Schreier (Lausanne, Switzerland, 1936) is a multidisciplinary artist whose career combines illustration, painting, sculpture, and textile art. Trained at the Zurich School of Fine Arts, her professional path began in illustration and animation, developing across countries such as Canada, Italy, Norway, Venezuela, and Spain. For more than four decades, she has lived in the Sierra of Madrid, where she has consolidated a personal and ever-evolving artistic language.

Her style ranges from figuration to lyrical abstraction and minimalism, in a continuous search for new forms of expression. Schreier works with diverse techniques such as dyes on silk and paper, acrylic on canvas and wood, and has also explored weaving and looms using wool and organic materials for abstract textile works. In sculpture, she combines ceramics, metal, and wood with a playful and expressive approach, where humor and fantasy play a central role.

Critics have highlighted how Schreier integrates the playful and the dreamlike in her work, creating imaginary landscapes where the sun, the moon, forests, animals, and other natural elements become protagonists of magical and narrative worlds. This fusion of humor, nature, and abstraction transforms her art into a unique space of aesthetic exploration.

Throughout her career, Jacqueline Schreier has taken part in over 40 solo and group exhibitions in Switzerland, Spain, and other countries, presenting her work in renowned institutions and galleries such as the Galerie of the Zurich Cantonal Bank. Her international recognition and the coherence of her style establish her as a reference within contemporary art.

At And-Art Works, audiences can discover an artistic production that bridges tradition and contemporaneity, marked by a strong creative vocation and a tireless spirit of experimentation.
