Islam 1965

Carla Accardi made this untitled work sometime in her life with paint on canvas. Isn't it interesting how the colours vibrate off each other? Red over green, a classic combo! Accardi’s colour palette here feels immediate, like a gut reaction turned into a visual statement. The texture's interesting too, with these vertical marks creating a kind of rhythm. Each one seems slightly different, you know? It makes me think about how much control we really have as artists, and how much we just let happen. There's this one particular mark near the center – it's got this little wobble in it, like the artist paused for a second. That tiny imperfection makes the whole thing feel more alive. Thinking about other artists... maybe someone like Agnes Martin, but with more… sass? Ultimately, what's so cool about art is that it's an ongoing conversation, and there's no one "right" answer.
