Untitled 1967

Here we have Rodolfo Arico’s ‘Untitled’ artwork, a green monochrome which doesn't have a date. I see this as a painting, but also as an object. The more I look, the more I feel that the artist and I are alike. It’s clear that Arico wants to create a visual push and pull, just like I do. Look how he’s achieved it – using this single color to create space, depth, and illusion. He’s making a simple statement, but still making a complex painting. I wonder if he was thinking about the concept of the void, or the infinite. It strikes me that Arico and other painters are in conversation across time, inspiring each other’s creativity. Each artist adds a brushstroke to this ongoing dialogue, each finding new ways to explore form and feeling. Painting is an embodied expression which allows for endless interpretations.
