THE ARTWORK
In this screenprint by Luis Feito, a large red circle occupies the upper part of a yellow field. Below it, a dark form gathers red and black accents, introducing a counterweight to the simplicity of the circular shape. The contrast between the two areas creates the image’s tension.
The composition brings sharply defined surfaces into dialogue with more irregular edges. Colour does not describe recognisable objects, but establishes distances, weights and directions. The eye moves from the compact presence of the circle to the density of the lower area, following an essential balance that remains open and fluid.
