SU-20 1973

Wojciech Fangor made "SU-20," using paint to melt space. The color, oh, this sizzling red! It's not just a color; it's an event. Look closely and you'll see how softly it melts in and out of itself. Fangor isn't just applying paint, he’s staging a happening. There’s a hazy quality here, a blurred edge that makes me think of Rothko, but with a feverish energy that’s all Fangor’s own. It's as if he's inviting us into a dream, where boundaries dissolve, and color breathes on its own. That soft graduation in the lower part of the image, it’s so subtle it’s almost a feeling. Like heat rising from asphalt on a summer's day. This isn’t just retinal; it's visceral. It's not just something you see, but something you feel.
