Details:

In this painting, the artist has used bold colors, graphic elements, and stylized figures to create a dynamic composition that toes the line between abstraction and figuration. He enhances his painted surfaces by adding multiple thin layers of opaque paint over his rough jute surfaces, which creates translucent or atmospheric effects. Large swaths of flat, colorful shapes provide movement and tension in this striking body of work.
Framed: 39.0 x 39.0 x 2.0 in.

Guzzo Pinc hopes to convey a sense of health, balance, and joie de vivre in his artworks. Inspired by the histories of art and philosophy, his acrylic-on-canvas paintings portray both weighty and lighthearted qualities, expressed through the complex patterns and compositions holding his stylized figures and forms.
