About The Work
This work is evidence of Pollock's vital and dynamic approach to his art. Rectangular in shape and developing vertically, this piece appears to show an abstract entity comprising figurative elements that have lost their distinctive traits during the creative process. The abstract compositions in Jackson Pollock’s serigraphs demonstrate his capacity for appropriating parts of the History of Art and transcending them through a language that allows him to overtake the European figurative tradition. But in moving forward, Pollock never leaves anything behind, as confirmed by his colleague and companion Lee Krasner, to whom Pollock confided that he could not stop himself during the creative process, even when an image began to take shape, because his final objective was in fact to cover over any figures. The traces and trails made by physical bodies become pure, vibrant expression and movement in Jackson Pollock’s "Expression no.2". Although indelibly impressed on a support, they seem to retain and transmit the vital energy generated by the artist during the act of creation.
