Energy

by Carlo Borloni

Energy by rkw is not a collection of works, but a passage.

It is not about contemplating static images, nor about reducing forms to a fixed meaning: what emerges is a flow, a continuous tension that resists being pinned down. The artist works with the essential, renouncing detail and definition in order to give space to what usually escapes: vibration.

weird, rkw

Each work is a threshold, a surface that breathes. Colors meet and collide, chasing one another like forces that know no balance, generating a field in which the viewer is inevitably drawn in. There is no passivity in the act of looking: one is compelled to confront the invisible taking shape before their eyes. The tension lies in the way one color presses against another, in the void left to be deciphered, in the sensation of being looked back at by what one is observing.

Energy thus becomes a primal language, able to translate universal emotions without the need for recognizable figures. No bodies are required to feel the weight of fear, the lightness of joy, the force of desire. It is the movement of matter itself that speaks: a movement that does not close, that remains open and unstable, like the emotions it carries.

stuck, rkw

There is a sense of urgency in these works, the will to capture something that refuses to be held still. The unfinished is not a flaw but the very heart of the process: the openness that allows the viewer to become part of the work. Whoever looks is called to complete what is missing, to read in the folds of color the reflection of their own feelings.

believe!, rkw

Energy is, ultimately, a declaration of freedom. The freedom not to define, not to explain, to let painting live through its own tension rather than through resolution. rkw chooses to trust what vibrates, what escapes control, and in this gesture lies a radical power.

frens, rkw

These works do not search for an ultimate meaning: they open possibilities. They are half-open doors onto the intensity of experience, mirrors that return emotions without fixing them in a face or a figure. It is energy itself that becomes the protagonist: restless, shifting, irreducible.
