VANTA - Cruor

“Cruor” (2025)
Oil on canvas
175 x 140 cm

Vibrant deep red oil paint dominates this canvas, applied through techniques that create intricate surface patterns and textures across the entire field. The application method builds up visible marks and variations that prevent the red from reading as flat or uniform - instead, it becomes an activated field where every area carries the evidence of how it was made.

Working without traditional brushes, VANTA has employed multiple approaches to manipulate the wet paint. Represented by S-Gallery and listed on Catawiki, these varied techniques create a surface that rewards close inspection. Some areas show directional marks, others reveal scraping or dragging, while additional methods contribute their own textural signatures to the complex red field.

The large format turns this worked surface into an immersive experience. That intense red maintains its chromatic power while the varied application creates enough surface interest to keep the eye engaged and moving across the canvas. It’s color as presence - assertive and unapologetic in its saturation, but complex enough in execution to prevent any sense of monotony.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
