With the palm and the fingers of the hand: Below turbines (Korana river) 2007

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this dynamic ink drawing on paper, titled "With the palm and the fingers of the hand: Below turbines (Korana river)." The way the ink swooshes and splatters, you can tell Krupa wasn’t precious about the marks. It feels like a dance, a record of movement. Look how the ink pools in some spots, almost velvety, and fades to wispy lines in others. The texture isn't just visual; you can almost feel the slickness of the ink. Check out the confident strokes that build the form in the lower part of the drawing. They’re layered, almost like they were chasing each other across the page, trying to pin down an image. The whole thing feels immediate and raw. There’s something about this that reminds me of Franz Kline, that bold energy, but Krupa’s got his own rhythm. He’s not afraid to let the ink do its thing, which is where the magic happens. It’s a reminder that art is a process, an ongoing experiment.
