The first snow 2019

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this artwork, called "The First Snow," using ink on paper. You know, it's all about process with pieces like this. You can see the hand so clearly. The watery ink creates these delicate washes, almost like the snow itself is melting before our eyes. Look at the way the lines bleed into the paper. There's a real sense of movement, like a fleeting moment captured. That little red square anchors the whole composition, a bold interruption in the grayscale world. It’s kind of like a shot of adrenaline to the eye. I can’t help but think of earlier Chinese landscape painters who were masters of ink, capturing the essence of nature with the simplest of means. It’s a conversation across time, about seeing and feeling the world around us.
