“Fugue” (2025) Oil on canvas 175 x 140 cm “Fugue” demonstrates VANTA’s sophisticated oil painting technique, where a deep red background has been carefully built up through multiple layers to create remarkable richness and depth. Over this luminous red foundation, even deeper red-dark abstract streaks have been applied, creating subtle but powerful tonal variations across the canvas. The layered approach gives the work a glowing quality that changes under different lighting conditions. Represented by S-Gallery and available on Catawiki, this piece showcases the patience and technical skill required for VANTA’s oil painting process. Each layer had to dry completely before the next could be applied, resulting in a surface with exceptional depth and complexity. The darker red streaks create bold vertical forms that stand out against the rich background while maintaining harmony within the red color family. The large format allows both the subtle background variations and the bold surface marks to be fully appreciated. This monochromatic approach within the red spectrum creates a piece that is both dramatic and sophisticated, showing how VANTA can achieve powerful effects through careful color relationships and patient layering techniques.
