A few strokes again 2013

Alfred Freddy Krupa made "A few strokes again" using ink on paper, measuring 40 by 30 centimeters. The artwork is dominated by bold, black brushstrokes against a stark white background, a study in contrast. The texture varies with the pressure of the brush, creating a sense of depth and movement. At first glance, the composition seems almost chaotic, yet there’s an underlying structure that brings a certain harmony. This piece engages with the tradition of ink wash painting, common in East Asia, and reinterprets it through a contemporary lens. The strokes— spontaneous and unrestrained— invite us to contemplate the nature of representation, the role of the artist’s gesture, and the interplay between form and formlessness. The very act of painting, in this context, becomes a performance. The composition functions as a dialogue between intentionality and chance, order and chaos, inviting ongoing interpretation.
