The Bellucci Water Circus arrived to town 1995

Alfred Freddy Krupa made "The Bellucci Water Circus arrived to town" using ink, conjuring a temporary structure in rapid strokes. I imagine Krupa with his brush, a simple tool dancing across the paper to capture the circus’s fleeting presence. He lays down these bold, graphic marks, and the image of tents materializes out of the white ground. It’s a playful balance between abstraction and representation. The ink, thin and fluid, allows for a spontaneous expression, not labored over. You can almost feel the artist's hand moving quickly, deciding where to add weight and depth. I love how the graphic style flattens the image, turning the tents into almost geometric forms, while the lightness of touch gives the scene a sense of movement and temporary joy. Like a circus. I wonder if he was thinking of similar artists with a graphic style like Ben Shahn. This ink drawing invites you to see the world with fresh eyes, finding beauty in the everyday, encouraging us to trust our intuition.
