Round Plants Exp14 2017

Alfio Giuffrida made "Round Plants Exp14" using paint, though I'm not sure exactly when. The ochre background sets the stage for an intricate arrangement of geometric forms. Giuffrida’s painting feels like a meditation on the playful side of modernism. Imagine the artist standing before the canvas, brush in hand, carefully mapping out these shapes and lines. There’s something deeply satisfying in the precision, yet the overall effect is more whimsical than rigid. You can see the forms that appear to be plants or machine parts, rendered in shades of green, white, red, and blue, all suspended within a network of linear structures. It reminds me a bit of Léger, but with a more intimate, quirky feel. The painting invites you to explore the relationship between abstraction and representation, and how both can coexist on a single plane. It’s like Giuffrida is saying, “Let’s see how many ways we can look at the world, and maybe find something new in the process.”
