Context study / GRADUS

GRADUS — Context Study

The direct encounter between dense rust orange and deep cobalt blue establishes the starting point on this surface. Within the composition, fine white horizontal and diagonal lines support a medium-sized red quadrant and a smaller one, organizing a plane of geometric tensions and open contours. The medium, built from layered acrylic and oil on canvas, reveals subtle scraping, glazes, and incisions that expose the studio's process of accumulation. Within the SITUS series, the work functions as a territory of thresholds and shifting distances, where elements suggest positions and transits without imposing a closed narrative. Captured from a dramatic low-angle perspective at floor level, the 120 by 160 centimeter vertical canvas projects against the high exposed brick wall, integrating its chromatic structure into the vanishing lines and rustic materiality of the industrial loft.
