A Figure in Yellow and Blue
A man stands within the frame, his form caught in a moment of heavy gesture. He wears a black suit and a tie, yet his shape is distorted, pulled by an unseen tension. His arms reach upward, breaking the stillness of the composition. The canvas holds him in a clash of primary tones, where deep blues meet a sharp, bright yellow. A checkered pattern cuts through the scene, adding a fractured rhythm to the space around him.
The Weight of the Brush
The oil on canvas carries a thick, physical presence. In this 1987 work, the paint does not merely sit upon the surface; it builds a landscape of texture and movement. The colors collide with a restless energy, characteristic of the Neo-Expressionist approach. Every stroke contributes to a sense of instability, as if the figure might shift or dissolve back into the blue and yellow light.
Fragments of an Era
Created in Munich and Imperia, this piece reflects a period of intense visual experimentation. The subject is stripped of a clear narrative, leaving only the raw impact of color and distorted anatomy. It captures a sense of dislocation, where the human form becomes a vessel for movement and chromatic friction.
The exit remains uncertain.
