Sectiune 1972

Gil Nicolescu's painting, Sectiune, is an oil on canvas, roughly square in shape. The warm hues and geometric forms come together, suggesting a landscape gradually emerging from abstraction. Look closely, and you'll see how Nicolescu builds his composition through layers. The paint is applied with a deliberate, almost architectural precision, giving the piece a kind of solidity, like a geological formation or cross section of a cave. But there is also a feeling of gentle erosion. Notice the way the colors shift from dark reds and browns to vibrant oranges, creating depth. On the right, the edge appears soft, almost blurred, as if the hard edges of the geometrical shapes are being worn away by the elements, maybe sand or wind. There's something both timeless and immediate, about this quiet, powerful image. The more I look, the more I feel I'm peering into another world, maybe one by Agnes Martin or Carmen Herrera. A world built on careful observation and pure feeling.
