In the park 1992

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this work on paper called 'In the park' using watercolor. I really like the gestural marks here. It feels like the painting came into being quickly, like a snapshot. A way to capture what it felt like to be standing in the park. It reminds me of Cy Twombly in that way. I'm thinking about the artist, standing there with a brush in hand, trying to get the trees just right. It's a bit like a dance, isn't it? The brush moving across the paper, back and forth, creating these delicate lines. The paint looks thin, like the artist wanted to let the paper breathe. It gives the whole scene a light, airy feel. The texture of the ink creates dark lines in places, to give a bit of definition. It shows how artists are constantly talking to each other, even across time. And how painting, at its heart, is all about feeling and expression. There isn't one reading or interpretation but many.
