Untitled (from Collection Resonance) 2011

Monique Orsini’s abstract painting presents a visually striking composition dominated by dynamic, sweeping forms in shades of red, black, and white against a cool, light blue ground. The layering of colors and textures creates a sense of depth and movement, as if the forms are in constant flux. The composition is centralized, with the forms radiating outward from a dark core. This painting can be understood through the lens of abstract expressionism, where the act of painting itself becomes a performance of the artist's inner state. The gestural brushstrokes and layering of colors not only construct the visual elements of the work but also embody the artist's physical engagement with the canvas. The interplay between structure and chaos suggests a deeper engagement with the unstable nature of meaning itself. The painting challenges viewers to find their own interpretations, underscoring the idea that art is a site of ongoing dialogue.
