Paul Kuntze’s “Fresko 102” shifts the palette of his “Fresko” series toward warm peach, blush, gray, cream, and muted violet. Billowing painted forms rise and curl across the canvas, carrying clusters of fine, ribbon-like gestures that introduce contrasting flashes of black, blue, pink, and ochre. The warmer background gives the work a distinctly different atmosphere from Kuntze’s predominantly blue compositions, while retaining the layered brushwork and organic movement characteristic of the series. Dense passages toward the lower half gradually open into a softer field above, creating a composition that moves between intricate detail and expansive color.
