Metamorphose 1975

Serge Brignoni made this piece, Metamorphose, using a printmaking technique, and it's all about letting forms emerge and shift. The colors, mostly reds, yellows, and blues, feel really immediate, like the image is bubbling up from somewhere. The surface has this amazing texture from the printmaking process, and it's not about hiding the way it's made; it’s all on display, like a map of the artist’s thinking. Look at the way the lines squiggle and dance, especially around those circular shapes on the left. They kind of vibrate, don't they? It’s like the whole picture is breathing, morphing right before your eyes. Brignoni reminds me of other artists who were into letting the subconscious take over, like maybe Joan Miró, someone who knew how to make a playful mess into something profound. Art, after all, is a conversation, a constant remix of ideas.
