Untitled 2017

This untitled watercolor, made by Kinder Album in 1982, isn't just an image; it's a whole process laid bare. The approach to mark-making here is loose, fluid, almost like a dance between the brush and the paper. It's like the artist is saying, "Here's the world, let's play with it." The watercolor is thin, transparent in places, letting the light bounce off the paper. Look at the way the pinks and greens bleed into each other, creating this kind of dreamlike space. It's not about perfect representation. It's about feeling. The repetitive mark of the phallic shapes is very interesting. There is a combination of soft, washed colours, with harder edged detailing. It reminds me of Guston, or maybe even Redon, in its surreal, symbolic approach. But Album brings a fresh, contemporary eye to the conversation, reminding us that art is always evolving, always questioning. It shows us that ambiguity is not a weakness, but a strength, a doorway into new ways of seeing and thinking.
