Structural 4 2014

Here’s Rodrigo Franzao’s ‘Structural 4,’ and I’m wondering what it must have been like to make this. Look at the explosion of colour emanating outwards, layer upon layer, with all those fine lines! I can almost imagine Rodrigo, with his hand moving across the paper, mapping out this geometric space. He’s like a cartographer of colour. I wonder if he ever felt lost in the process? The shapes and patterns overlap and intersect, creating a kind of controlled chaos. The yellow section with bold black outlines feels so solid and grounded, while the surrounding lines vibrate with energy. It reminds me of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings, but with a psychedelic twist. Maybe Rodrigo was thinking about Op Art, or even the vibrant street art scene? Anyway, art's like a big conversation, right? Artists are always building on each other's ideas. And that's a good thing. Because painting doesn't have to have all the answers. Sometimes it’s more interesting to just ask questions.
