Instructed Shame 2013

"Instructed Shame" (2013) by Rodrigo Franzao is an abstract painting composed of a grid of nine sections, each featuring a distinct color palette and gestural brushstrokes. The artwork is comprised of layered paper, creating a textural and dynamic surface. Franzao's use of bold colors, like red, purple, and green, alongside sweeping lines and arcs, evokes a sense of energy and movement. The piece's title suggests a theme of social critique or self-reflection, inviting viewers to engage with its complex and ambiguous symbolism.
