Works on Canvas
Alfred's works on canvas are grounded in motion - visual traces of an embodied process. Each piece emerges from a physically driven inquiry: a conversation between movement, intuition, and material integrity. The canvas becomes not just a surface, but a site of translation - where the language of body meets the stillness of form.
Through layering, masking, and mark-making, Alfred navigates the tension between presence and impermanence. Using oil stick and pastel for their immediacy and texture, he embraces instinct as language - a physical response that gives shape to memory and mood. What begins as a somatic impulse unfolds into a terrain that is raw, symbolic, and emotionally direct.
