Alfred Freddy Krupa made this little ink drawing on the packaging he received with Bistra powder from the Rembrandt House Museum. What a great surface to draw on! I can imagine Freddy spotting this and immediately grabbing some ink. Look at how the black ink pools and bleeds, creating these fluid, organic shapes. I think he’s responding to the original purpose of the packaging and is almost making his own ready-made artwork out of it. It reminds me of other artists who also use unconventional surfaces. The texture of the packaging interacts with the ink in such an interesting way, it's almost like a collaboration between artist and material. This piece seems to be part of an ongoing conversation between Freddy and the materials around him. I love how artists find inspiration in the everyday, transforming mundane objects into something beautiful and thought-provoking.
