The piece is one of the IBD series. In the IBD (Imperfections By Design) series I have a specific idea, or obsession, of bringing the dialogue between perfection and imperfection into colors. My canvases are composed of two sections. The first one is essential: on the left there is an area cut in two by golden ratio and painted with flat colors. This represents the perfection, reaffirmed again on the bottom right. The canvas' size, however, doesn't respect golden ratio, which means that there is a section left where imperfection is brought to life. In that space the painter can tell the rest of the story: he can be childish, self-destructive, poetic, provocative, a simple carpenter. The imperfection is the human sphere. The dialogue between perfection and imperfection creates an accomplished piece.
On IBD_9 (NEXT) the strong contrast between red and black generates a figure hanging in the balance between despair, resignation, boredom. An insignificant figure, reduced to a silhouette. We are that figure: transient people who wait a push to get out of the scene, leaving space for the next silhouette.
