brushstrokes
and gestural spatters,
obvious traces of an action, of the
author's energy: they transmit
movement, give life;
imprints,
which testify to the artist's direct
contact with the material, his
physical presence;
drips,
bestowed from above, from
“without”, as a fate which fertilizes
and blesses;
sprays,
which, like the drips, are beyond
direct or instrumental contact with
the canvas, but are instead flung
from the outside, lashed like a
scourge;
nebulous forms,
which celebrate the ethereal nature
of matter, its randomness, the
inconsistency of things.
And so on.
