Title: Somebody That I Used To Know
Artist: Dan Forlenza
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Year: 2025
Size: 18” w. x 24” h.
Frame: none
A compelling study in fragmentation and form, this original acrylic painting deconstructs portraiture through the lens of modernist abstraction. Two visages emerge from a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes and intersecting lines, their features deliberately fractured to reveal psychological depth and multiplicity. Rendered in a restrained yet commanding palette anchored by primary hues and stark contrasts. The composition achieves a striking balance between structural rigor and emotional resonance, inviting contemplation of identity, perception, and the spaces between internal and external realities.
The artwork is a striking example of contemporary primitive or neo-expressionist style, featuring two stylized, mask-like figures set against a geometric background. The composition relies heavily on high contrast and a limited color palette to create a sense of duality and enigmatic presence.
