Untitled. Winter Album 2016

This is Kinder Album's "Untitled. Winter Album," made in 2016, probably with ink and watercolor. There's this raw, immediate quality to it; like a thought spilled right onto the page. I'm really drawn to the snow; it's more like this abstract scattering of ink blots, which is such a cool, almost childlike way of representing a blizzard. And the way the figure is rendered, so casually outlined, like a sketch in a dream! It’s got this tension between being carefully observed and totally loose. Check out the way the artist has used little patches of red in the snow. It creates this kind of ominous shadow in an otherwise very playful image. I think Joan Miró would dig it. It's a reminder that art doesn't always need to be polished. Sometimes, it’s the imperfections that make it sing.
