Waiting on a Friend

This painting, as suggested by its name, depicts a woman standing by herself, waiting for a friend, with a flower in hand. Immediately, the strong and vibrant reds in this piece stand out and catch the eye. In Capicotto fashion, he uses complimentary hues (in this painting, yellow and blue) to subconsciously create a satisfying colour palette for the viewer’s eyes. Though the brushwork may seem messy, each stroke is intentionally placed to add a unique texture and feel to the painting. The use of thick impastos add a striking depth to his works, allowing texture itself to become a vehicle for movement, enriching the viewer’s sensory and emotional experience.
