Andrzej Fogtt, “Brda”, 2020 – expressive abstract landscape inspired by the Brda river
Andrzej Fogtt, painting “Brda”, 2020 comes from the artist’s series dedicated to the Brda river. In this cycle Fogtt demonstrates his ability to merge realism with abstraction – recognisable elements of nature are transformed into a dynamic, expressive record of the landscape’s energy. In “Brda” the water surface, vegetation and tree reflections dissolve into vertical drips and vibrating strokes, forming a suggestive, almost musical rhythm.
The composition is dominated by an explosion of colour: intense pinks, purples, blues, greens and deep blacks create a pulsating field of marks. For Fogtt, colour is a vehicle for emotion and energy; the vivid, almost vibrating palette reflects the dynamic character of the Brda river and its surroundings. Thick layers of oil paint, downward flows and abrupt brush cuts generate an impression of movement, flow and transience, so the work reads more like a record of experience than a traditional landscape.
Texture plays an equally important role. Andrzej Fogtt experiments with various ways of applying oil paint – from heavy impasto to transparent washes and drips – creating a rich, complex surface. As a result, “Brda”, 2020, acts not only visually but almost physically, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the dense painterly matter. This work is a compelling choice for collectors seeking large-scale contemporary painting that unites the energy of nature with abstract expression.
