Untitled 1992

This painting, made by Moshe Kupferman, seems to float in front of our eyes. Look at how he’s applied a gray-toned palette; it’s like the whole canvas has been gently washed with diluted colors. The surface is alive with the history of its making. You can see the ghost of previous marks, a kind of archeology of gestures. It's all about process. Kupferman lays down a stroke, then edits, covers, and revises. Like life, right? Everything is changing, nothing is solid. I keep looking at the drips at the bottom – they pull the whole painting down, making the geometry above feel even more tentative. It’s almost like he’s channeling Cy Twombly, but with a quiet, introspective vibe. It feels like Kupferman is showing us not just an image, but a way of thinking. A way of seeing the world as always in progress.
