Looking through the BFA show I noticed these paintings by
Klint Flentge. The one that held my attention the most of the two that were
displayed was Validity/Conversion, consisting
of oil paint on a wood panel. What brought me to this piece was the mysterious
figures that arise from the background within the piece. As a whole you get an
eerie feeling as there are scattered body parts throughout the piece as if
Klint is using the gestures of the figures to insinuate some sort of untold
narrative. Its composition allows the viewer’s eye to flow through the piece
well, connecting the viewer to the artist’s train of thought in creating this
piece. The color is very well executed, giving it a dreamy feel, as well as coherently
working with its composition to strengthen the flow of movement through the
piece. Personally my favorite part of this painting would have to be the fact
that the contours of the figures themselves aren’t outlined strongly allowing
the figures to merge with the painting as a whole rather than in individual
sections. The merging of the figures also allows for the conceptual aspect to
broaden for the individual as well allow the viewer to connect one section of
the painting to another much easier. I loved this painting and I can’t wait to
see more!
