Review of the work “The Fishes” by Kandayin
“Les Poissons” by Kandayin is an intriguing and vibrant work that uses pastel on textured paper mounted on wood to create a dynamic and expressive composition. This piece stands out for its cubist style, recalling the artistic experiments of the early 20th century with a modern and personal touch.
Composition and Colors: The first thing that catches the eye is the rich and bold color palette. Hues of purple, orange, green and blue combine to create a striking and harmonious contrast. The colors, applied with confident strokes, bring depth and liveliness to the work. Using pastel allows for soft transitions between hues, while retaining a certain texture that adds a tactile dimension to the piece.
Shapes and structure: The structure of the work is marked by intertwined geometric shapes, typical of cubism. The faces of the characters are fragmented and reassembled in such a way as to offer several perspectives simultaneously. The fish, integrated into the composition of the faces, create a fusion between human and animal, perhaps symbolizing a deep connection with nature or a metaphorical transformation.
Expression and symbolism: The facial expressions are mysterious, with half-closed eyes and exaggerated features that seem to tell a silent story. The fish, with their big round eyes and colorful bodies, add a touch of whimsy and strangeness. This work could be interpreted as a reflection on identity, the duality of the human being, or even an allegory on the underwater world and its mysteries.
Technique and Materials: Kandayin has an impressive mastery of pastel, using the texture of paper to add depth and complexity to his work. Marouflage on wood gives the work increased solidity and durability, while allowing greater freedom in the application of the pastel. This mixed technique demonstrates the artist's desire to experiment and push the limits of traditional materials.
The impact of this work lies in its ability to provoke thoughts and emotions, making “The Fishes” a memorable and significant piece in Kandayin's corpus.
