#27109 Jeanne Carbonetti

The artwork presents a vibrant and intensely colored composition dominated by washes of red, orange, yellow, and purple hues. The application of pigment appears fluid and unrestrained, suggesting a watercolor or similar medium where the artist has embraced chance and spontaneity in the blending process.
Here we see an amorphous central mass of crimson and scarlet, radiating outwards with varying degrees of intensity. This focal point is not sharply defined but rather bleeds into surrounding areas, creating a sense of movement and energy. Below this dominant form, hints of foliage emerge – slender, vertical strokes in shades of yellow and green – suggesting the presence of stems or stalks. Scattered throughout the lower portion are small, circular forms rendered in red, echoing the central color scheme but appearing as isolated elements within the broader composition.
The overall effect is one of abstraction; recognizable forms are suggested rather than explicitly depicted. The lack of clear outlines and the blending of colors contribute to a dreamlike or hallucinatory quality. Theres an impression of heat, perhaps evoking a sunset or a field ablaze with color.
Subtly, there’s a sense of fragility conveyed by the delicate washes and the way the pigment seems to dissolve into itself. The work doesnt offer a narrative but instead aims for an emotional resonance – a feeling of intense beauty tinged with melancholy or transience. The artist has prioritized atmosphere and color over precise representation, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork on a purely sensory level.
