灰红 2015

王新福 created 灰红 with what looks like a whole lotta paint. I love how this piece shows painting as a process. It’s not about perfection, it’s about the doing. The texture here is amazing, so thick you could almost grab a handful of those reds and greens! It's not just color; it's like the paint itself is alive, swirling and dancing. There's one particular swirl of crimson near the center that just explodes with energy, like the painting's heartbeat. It really brings to mind Soutine’s landscapes. Just like Soutine, Wang seems to embrace the mess, the imperfection. There’s no right or wrong way to see it, just a riot of color and feeling.
