Turn For The Better

1950

"Turn For The Better" by Alfonso A. Ossorio is a dynamic mixed-media work combining gouache, ink, and encaustic on paperboard, showcasing the artist's signature layering of richly textured surfaces. The interplay of translucent wax encaustic with bold ink lines and vibrant gouache creates a complex, tactile composition that pulses with organic energy. Ossorio's intuitive mark-making and expressive use of material evoke a sense of transformation and psychological depth.
