Andrzej Fogtt, “Brda”, 2020 – expressive river landscape in black, grey and orange
Andrzej Fogtt, painting “Brda”, 2020 is part of the artist’s series inspired by the Brda river, in which he skilfully combines landscape realism with abstract expression. Here the composition is dominated by cool greys and deep blacks, forming a dense structure of vertical and horizontal palette-knife strokes that evokes a dark water surface with reflections of trees and buildings. A narrow band of fiery oranges, reds and yellows runs across the top, suggesting the glow of a sunset mirrored on the river.
The “Brda” series is characterised by an explosion of colour, which for Fogtt becomes a vehicle of emotion and energy. In this version he deliberately limits the palette, enhancing the dramatic contrast between the dark, almost monolithic “mirror” of the water and the incandescent horizon. The intensity of colour and thick texture create an illusion of movement, flickering light and passing time, capturing the dynamic essence of the Brda river and its surroundings.
Texture is as important as colour. Fogtt experiments with oil-paint application, building the surface from layers of impasto and scraped marks so that the canvas acquires a rich, three-dimensional structure. “Brda”, 2020, is a striking example of contemporary abstract painting inspired by nature, perfect for collectors looking for works with strong emotional impact and a bold presence in modern interiors.
