Andrzej Fogtt, “Brda”, 2020 – abstract river landscape in bold colour contrasts
Andrzej Fogtt, painting “Brda”, 2020 belongs to the artist’s celebrated series inspired by the Brda river, where he merges the experience of real landscape with radical abstraction. In this composition the river scenery is transformed into large black ovals, vibrant colour fields and scattered confetti-like dots. On the left, monumental dark shapes evoke tree shadows or rocky walls, while on the right a dense, deep green mass suggests thick vegetation along the riverbank.
The lower part of the canvas is filled with a striking combination of pastel pink, light blue and neon green, turning the water surface into a plane of pure energy and light. The small, multicoloured spots in the centre can be read as falling leaves, sun reflections on the waves or an abstract notation of the river’s sound and movement. The “Brda” series is characterised by an explosion of colour, which for Fogtt becomes a primary tool for expressing emotion, rhythm and the vitality of nature.
Known for his unconventional and highly personal approach, Fogtt uses the large-format canvas to create an intense, almost vibrating pictorial space. “Brda”, 2020, hovers between a hint of a recognisable river motif and pure colouristic expression, leaving wide room for the viewer’s own interpretation. It is an excellent choice for collectors of contemporary abstract painting inspired by the natural world.
