Untitled 1950

This untitled artwork by Sandu Darie presents us with a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes in black, white, and a striking central red square. There's a real sense of movement, like the pieces are shards of something once whole, now exploding outward or perhaps converging inward. Look at how the black shapes are not uniform; some are thick, others like splinters, all orbiting this solid, calm red square. It’s a dance between chaos and order, a visual game of push and pull. The materiality here is intriguing - you can almost feel the texture, imagining the smooth surface of the red square against the subtly rougher ground of the white and black. The contrast isn’t just visual; it's tactile too, engaging your senses beyond just sight. This piece reminds me a bit of early constructivist experiments but with a playful twist. It doesn't take itself too seriously, inviting you to find your own rhythm within its abstract composition. It reminds us that art is a conversation, and this piece is Darie’s voice echoing through time, asking us to listen, to look, and to feel.
