#28797 Jaime Lorente

The composition presents a striking juxtaposition of order and chaos, delineated by a horizontal axis that bisects the frame. Below this line sits a bowl, rendered in warm ochre tones with a smooth, almost polished surface. Its form is simple, rounded, suggesting containment or receptivity. A single, thin line runs down its center, adding a subtle verticality to the otherwise curved shape.
Above the dividing line, an intricate network of lines dominates. These are not clean strokes but rather a dense tangle of looping, spiraling marks in a similar reddish-brown hue as the bowl. The effect is one of frenetic energy and visual complexity; it appears almost like a chaotic accumulation of thoughts or emotions. Theres a sense of something overflowing, spilling over the boundary established by the horizontal line.
The artist’s use of line is particularly noteworthy. In the lower portion, lines are controlled and define form with precision. Above, they become loose, erratic, and overlapping, creating an impression of instability and unrestrained movement. The inclusion of small circular forms within the upper tangle suggests a potential for pattern or structure, but these are quickly subsumed by the overall disorder.
The color palette is restricted to earth tones, contributing to a sense of muted intensity. The contrast between the solid warmth of the bowl and the agitated lines above creates a visual tension that invites contemplation on themes of control versus release, stability versus turmoil, or perhaps even conscious thought versus subconscious impulses. The work suggests an exploration of internal states, where seemingly disparate elements coexist in uneasy balance.
