What I feel 2018

Rodrigo Franzao’s artwork features meticulous construction with white and black elements contrasted against a vibrant red mass. The composition is striking: a grid of small, repeated marks overlaid with a dense tangle of red material at the centre. This invites us to consider the dynamic between order and chaos. Formally, the grid structure evokes a sense of control and rationality. Yet this rigid structure is disrupted by the turbulent red element, suggesting an eruption of emotion. The artist creates a dialogue between the planned and the spontaneous, the rational and the emotional. The title, “What I feel,” suggests an exploration of inner emotional states through abstract forms. The grid, in this context, might represent the frameworks and boundaries within which emotions are experienced, while the red tangle symbolizes the raw, unfiltered intensity of feeling.
