Anatomic Cross-Section 1976

Serge Brignoni made this piece, "Anatomic Cross-Section," with paint and probably some brushes; it's a real dissection of color and form. Brignoni's got a knack for layering—you see it in the way the blues and grays kind of swim together, like looking through water. The texture isn't smooth; it’s got bumps and scrapes, which makes you think about the physicality of painting. There’s a squiggly yellow line that cuts through the oval, and at the bottom, it turns into this cluster of green dots. It's like a little explosion of life right there, pushing against the cooler tones. The way Brignoni balances the abstract shapes with these almost biological forms reminds me a bit of Hilma af Klint, who was also mapping inner worlds with her art. Both artists invite you to look beyond the surface, into the unknown.
