This geometric painting by Luis Feito is crisscrossed by diagonal pink lines. The dark background is interrupted by soft splashes of dark pink and green. I can imagine Feito starting with that strong, architectural structure, that rigorous geometric pattern, and then thinking, "How can I mess this up?" You know, how can I introduce some uncertainty, some play? And that's where the magic happens, right? It’s a dark painting with pops of chaotic energy. It looks like the artist has created a very tight, almost controlled pattern, and then splattered across the painting in a way that is both organic and disruptive. It reminds me a little of the work of Josef Albers, but with a kind of punk rock energy. It’s like he’s saying, "Yeah, I can do the hard lines, the perfect shapes, but I can also let loose and have some fun." And that tension, that push and pull between order and chaos, is what makes this painting so exciting. It’s a visual reminder that even in the most structured environments, there’s always room for a little bit of wildness.
