Buffon 1985

Dado made this painting "Buffon" with what looks like thin washes of paint, allowing the colors to blend and create ethereal forms. For me, art making is all about the process, a dance between intention and accident. The surface has a ghostly quality, with transparent layers of blue and pink, like faded memories. You can almost feel the wateriness of the paint, the way it moved across the canvas. See that cluster of looping lines near the bottom? It's like a little conversation happening right there, a secret code. The way they intersect and overlap creates a sense of depth and movement. Looking at this, I think of Cy Twombly's scribbled elegance, the way he turned simple marks into complex, evocative compositions. Dado, like Twombly, embraces ambiguity, letting the viewer fill in the gaps and create their own story. It's a reminder that art is never finished, it’s always open to new interpretations.
