Editor: This is an Untitled piece by Angelo de Sousa, seemingly on paper, that strikes me with its bold geometric shapes and vibrant colours. There's a strong sense of visual play here, almost a cheerful challenge. What's your take on this artwork? Curator: Oh, I feel that "cheerful challenge" deeply! It's like a game of Tetris frozen in time, isn't it? What truly captivates me is how de Sousa balances this almost playful arrangement with a very considered exploration of space and color. Do you notice how the hard edges define each shape? Editor: I do. They're so crisp and clean. Almost… clinical? Curator: Clinical, yes, but also decisive. It's a statement. Like he’s declaring the power of pure, unadulterated color. It reminds me of those Color Field painters pushing the boundaries, declaring the canvas as a field for pure sensory experience, with no narratives. Does that resonate with you? Editor: Definitely! It shifts my perspective. I was so focused on the shapes I almost missed the sheer impact of the colour itself. It's about feeling rather than seeing. Curator: Exactly. And it makes you wonder what Sousa was thinking when making it. What moods did each color stir in him? Maybe that's something we could all try – assigning feelings to colours. Editor: I love that. A little synesthesia experiment with abstract art. Thanks for the insight, it gave me a lot to ponder! Curator: The pleasure was all mine!
