Paul Feeley’s ‘Rouso’ is a study in balance, achieved through simple shapes and a bold palette. The juicy color, sunny yellow next to a robust red, feels very mid-century modern, maybe applied as screenprint or uniformly rolled out paint. The composition is split, not quite evenly, by a curvy blue line that feels like a deliberate act of imperfection. It's a reminder that art isn’t about flawless execution but about the energy and movement of the hand. Looking closely, the yellow and red aren’t perfectly flat; there's a slight texture, a whisper of the material's history. That blue line, though, is key, preventing the composition from being static, adding a playful, almost bodily feel to the whole piece. Feeley's work has a kinship with artists like Ellsworth Kelly, who also played with color and form but also evokes a dialogue between the controlled and the chaotic, the perfect and the imperfect. It’s in this tension that the real juice of art lives.
