Nouveau Primitif
2025
Mixed media on canvas
60 × 48 in.
Nouveau Primitif emerges through a process of layering, excavation, and revision. Acrylic paint and oil sticks are applied, scraped back, and reworked, allowing fragments of earlier gestures, colors, and marks to remain visible beneath the surface.
The painting develops through a continuous exchange between addition and removal, where each intervention alters what came before. Rather than following a predetermined composition, the work takes shape through material experimentation and an ongoing dialogue with the canvas.
