Haustor (Gajeva 20) 2017

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this artwork, Haustor (Gajeva 20), using light and shadow as his medium, an intense contrast that immediately draws you in. The way the light pours in at the end of the tunnel, it’s like a beacon, promising some kind of resolution. I love how the texture almost feels like a painting; the way the light hits the stone, you can almost feel the roughness. Look closely at the top of the archway – the subtle variations in tone, the way it almost disappears into the darkness. That touch is where the magic happens. It isn’t just about representing a place, but about creating a mood, a feeling. It reminds me a little of some of the images by contemporary artist, Tacita Dean, who is also interested in shadow and light. I’m really drawn to how Krupa captures the ambiguity. It's a reminder that art isn't about answers; it's about exploring the questions.
