GEA 2016

Alfred Freddy Krupa's 'GEA' is alive with gestural marks in a rich palette of blues, reds, and yellows, giving the impression that the artwork has emerged, shifting and solidifying through trial, error, and intuition. I sympathize with the artist, imagining the canvas as a site of inquiry, with each layer revealing new possibilities. The physicality of the medium is key to the experience of the painting. The paint appears to be applied in both thick and thin layers, creating a textured surface that invites us to explore the emotional and intellectual resonances of the work. Look at how the brushstrokes dance across the canvas, communicating feeling and intention. 'GEA' relates to the wider practice of artists who embrace ambiguity, inviting multiple interpretations. Artists are in an ongoing conversation across time, inspiring one another's creativity, and allowing for multiple interpretations of meaning.
