Untitled 1992

This untitled work by Antonio Palolo features vertical stripes in shifting shades, punctuated by white drips and splatters that suggest an energetic, process-driven approach. The physicality of the medium is key; the stripes are built up with layers of transparent and opaque color, their edges softened and blurred. Up close, you can see how the paint pools and gathers, creating a subtle texture that enlivens the surface. The drips and splatters seem almost random, yet they create a visual rhythm that ties the composition together. Look at how a single drip transforms the tone of the stripe beneath it. There’s something about this piece that reminds me of the work of Blinky Palermo; both artists share an interest in exploring the expressive possibilities of color and simple geometric forms. Ultimately, this painting invites us to embrace ambiguity and multiple interpretations.
