About the Item
"Afterparty" is an oil-on-canvas painting that employs a vocabulary of geometric shapes, blending together to form new and unforeseen moments. Originally executed with acrylic on canvas, the painting exudes spontaneity and energy. Subsequently, the shapes underwent a transformation as they were overlaid with a mixture of oil paint and refined linseed oil, intensifying contrast and imparting a subtle sheen to the surface. This technique involves the convergence of two distinct speeds in the painting process—one characterized by rapid, unfiltered strokes and the other by a more methodical and refined approach.
Drawing inspiration from midcentury aesthetics and modernism, this piece seamlessly complements various interior settings. The whimsical title, "Afterparty," alludes to the lively interaction of shapes conversing and engaging with one another across the space of the canvas.
