Agmont 1981

Friedel Dzubas made ‘Agmont’ with what looks like simple strokes, laying down areas of colour like a process of layering thoughts, one on top of the other. It’s a real exploration of colour, how they sit together and apart, creating movement and tension. Looking at the patch of blues on the left, you can almost feel the texture of the canvas coming through the paint. The way the colours bleed into each other, especially around the edges, makes me think about how nothing is ever truly separate, everything’s connected. Dzubas makes me think of Helen Frankenthaler, it's that similar dance with colour and form that opens up a space for feeling, more than knowing. The beauty of abstract painting is that it’s not about answers, but more about the questions it stirs within us.
