"Compulsion," a 2018 work by Brazilian artist Rodrigo Franzao, is a mixed-media piece that showcases his signature style. The artwork features a central grid of interwoven fabric, resembling a woven tapestry, overlaid with black ink splatters and streaks. This inner frame is then enclosed by a chaotic border of what appears to be thread, forming a dense and textured outer layer. The use of both delicate fabric and bold, gestural ink creates a striking visual tension within the composition. Franzao's work often explores themes of control and chaos, which are evident in "Compulsion." This artwork is a captivating example of his unique approach to textile art.
