Fusco

2012

"Fusco" by David Salle is a 2012 mixed-media painting executed in oil, acrylic, and tempera on linen, showcasing the artist's signature postmodern approach of layering seemingly disparate imagery within a single composition. Salle's masterful blending of mediums creates a complex visual dialogue, with translucent passages and bold gestural marks coexisting across the linen surface. The work reflects Salle's enduring interest in appropriation and juxtaposition, inviting viewers to navigate the tension between figuration and abstraction.
