Original artwork description:

"Between Neighbours" is a captivating abstract expressionist painting, spanning 120 cm in height and 360 cm in width. Composed of two complementary canvases, each measuring 120 cm x 180 cm, this diptych explores the dynamic interplay of contrasting yet harmonious elements.

The left panel radiates an energetic, almost fiery atmosphere with its warm red-brown and yellow tones. However, the right panel, though composed of cooler blues and violets, is by no means calming. On the contrary, the shapes and brushstrokes here seem even more untamed and chaotic, as if the cool colour palette amplifies the intensity of the movements and contrasts. The composition is a vibrant dance of vaguely rectangular and free-form shapes, some boldly outlined, others softened by overlapping brushstrokes. The wild, expressive brushwork alternates between spontaneity and deliberate control, with certain shapes appearing loosely sketched, others partially obscured or filled with darker tones. Both sides engage in a dynamic dialogue, where heat and cold, order and wildness challenge each other.

This painting symbolises the nuanced interactions within a friendly neighbourhood, where diverse identities coexist. The balance between form and freedom reflects an ideal of communal living, where individuality is celebrated within a framework of mutual respect and harmony.
