Luis Felipe Noé was a member of the New Figuration group working in Buenos Aires in the 1960s. He used
vivid colors and a crude, highly expressive approach
to figurative painting that he felt were appropriate
for depicting the essentially chaotic nature of contemporary society. Three Doors belongs to a series of works in which the artist experimented with multiple surfaces and forms of polyptych, challenging the usual notion of painting as a two-dimensional surface hung on the wall. The work is executed on the surfaces of three joined doors. It reflects the artist’s interest in utilizing found materials and popular motifs such as street art and graffiti.
