inner landscapes, emotions, feelings (Arpad Szenes, ...), serenity (Yves
Klein's "Monochromes", ...), equilibrium ("mandalas" of
Augustin Lesage or Adolf Wölfli, ...), memory (Boltenski "boxes",
...).
Tending towards the corporeal / the senses via expression with "humanity" (the passage from Life to Death)
- in a literal manner (John de Andrea, Duane Hanson, Itsvan Sandorfi, ...)
- or a symbolic manner (James Ensor, G. Rouault, F. Gruber, Zoran Music, Rebeca
Stevenson, Jan Vercruysse, ...),
Tending towards the corporeal / the senses the work as the result
of an action gestural
the work as the result of a bodily movement, chiefly a hand movement: from
Jackson Pollock's "Dripping" to Georges Mathieu's "Lyrical
Abstraction", L. Fontana's "perforations" to the flayed figures
of V. Vélickovic.

be
allegorical, metaphorical (J. Beuys' "materials", ...), analytical
(Mario Merz's "Fibonacci series", or those of Robert Filliou, ...),
critical (from Henri Cueco to Hans Haacke or Guillaume Bijl, ...).
