Pseudo Rorschach Test 2019

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this ink drawing, Pseudo Rorschach Test, in 2019. Imagine the quick, fluid gestures needed to create these shapes, the artist working rapidly to capture an idea before it fades. You can almost feel the brush dancing across the paper, leaving behind a trail of rich, dark ink. I'm drawn to the ambiguity of the forms, how they hover between representation and abstraction. What did Krupa see, or hope to evoke? The ink bleeds and pools in some areas, creating depth and texture, while other lines are sharp and decisive. It’s a conversation between control and chance. I wonder if Krupa was thinking of other artists who use chance, like Gerhard Richter, or even Surrealist automatism. Ultimately, this piece embodies how mark-making can be a form of embodied expression, embracing uncertainty and inviting multiple readings. Each viewer brings their own associations, their own interpretations, and that's what makes it exciting.
