1418 1986

Luis Feito made this untitled painting, "1418," with what looks like oil on canvas, and it feels like a real journey into process. The color story here is all about contrast, deep blacks playing against these vibrant, almost neon pink lines. Up close, you can see how the paint is worked, not just laid down but built up and maybe even scraped away in places. The texture makes you want to reach out and touch it. Then there are those splashes of red and green lurking underneath. It's like Feito is showing us the history of the painting. This record of its own making. It puts me in mind of those early Stella pinstripe paintings, but with a wilder, more unpredictable energy. Ultimately, this piece isn't about answers; it's about the questions art asks, and the spaces it opens up for us to wander in.
