Old houses at the bank of the Kupa river 1999

Alfred Freddy Krupa’s 1999 artwork “Old houses at the bank of the Kupa river” is a black and white ink drawing depicting a landscape scene of houses on the bank of a river. The artist utilizes bold, expressive brushstrokes to capture the essence of the scene. Krupa’s minimalist approach and use of negative space create a sense of depth and mystery, inviting viewers to contemplate the river’s presence and the buildings’ connection to it. This abstract work, in small format (24 x 30 cm), is typical of Krupa's style and reflects his interest in capturing the essence of place through simplified forms and expressive gestures.
