The experimental watercolor: memory and wish 2016

Alfred Freddy Krupa’s “The experimental watercolor: memory and wish” (2016) depicts a village or town, seen from above. The buildings are simplified and reduced to basic shapes, and the composition is dominated by the hazy, washed-out sky and clouds. The work appears to be a study in the use of watercolor, with washes and drips used to create an atmospheric and dreamlike effect. The work’s title suggests that Krupa was exploring the relationship between memory and imagination through his use of the medium. The viewer is left to imagine the specifics of the depicted place and the personal memories it might evoke.
