More about this artwork

Explore the depths of eccentric abstraction in Karl Wiener's vibrant artwork "5 Uhr," dating back to around 1921. This stunning piece invites viewers on a journey through a chaotic landscape of vivid colors and formless figures enveloped around a central, luminous yellow orb. The intensity of the fiery yellow hue in the middle powerfully contrasts with the darkness of the surrounding scribbles and patches, drawing the eye inexorably inward.The painting is a complex weave of colors and lines, suggesting movement and energy that seem to emanate from the bright core, reminiscent of a sun or a profound energy source. Mysterious text and numbers scattered throughout the artwork add an element of urban mystery, perhaps hinting at the time when the day begins to shift towards evening — a pivotal moment at '5 Uhr', or 5 o'clock.Wiener's artwork does not seek to represent the world literally but instead evokes emotions and thoughts through abstraction. The chaotic overlay of sketches and colors could be interpreted as the hustle and bustle of life, with the central light representing hope, energy, or the constant that holds everything together amidst disorder."5 Uhr" poses an enigmatic allure, compelling viewers to decipher the narrative buried within its abstract bounds.
