This painting is another example of Suprapictorialism, where the image overflows the work and the wall (with its color and texture) participates in the visual meaning of the image.

In other words, suprapictorialism is a bridge between these two extremes. Therefore, we will find works closer to…

Painting is not the negation of the wall, but rather the wall participates in its meaning. 3. Therefore, painting can present holes, irregularities, and other distortions. 4. The frame is open,…
