The big game 2017

Alfred Freddy Krupa made "The Big Game" using ink on paper, deploying a visual economy reminiscent of Japanese calligraphy. The stark contrast between the black ink and the white paper isn't just a visual choice; it dictates the aesthetic and the viewer’s engagement with the piece. The application of the ink, with its varying thickness and fluidity, is particularly crucial. This isn't about smooth gradients or blending. Instead, Krupa exploits the ink's inherent qualities, allowing it to pool, bleed, and create sharp edges. This technique requires a deep understanding of the material and a willingness to cede some control to the ink itself. It's almost a dance between the artist and the medium. Ultimately, "The Big Game" stands as a testament to the enduring power of simple materials, proving that a deep engagement with materiality and technique can be just as impactful as complex or novel processes.
