Art Analysis
From the artist, Yuli Saputra
The rhythmic friction of digital mark-making
In Irregular Scratches, Saputra explores the tension between digital precision and the ruggedness of hand-drawn textures. The piece is built upon a foundation of erratic, layered strokes that mimic the physical act of etching or carving into a surface. By utilizing a Scandi-inspired restraint, the artist allows the negative space to breathe, ensuring the complex web of marks remains the focal point without overwhelming the viewer.
The work is presented within a classic frame, providing a formal structure that grounds the fluid, modern energy of the digital brushwork. This juxtaposition highlights the tactile quality of the piece, turning a flat screen-based creation into a rich, textural study. The result is a balanced exploration of form where the unpredictability of each scratch contributes to a cohesive, rhythmic whole.
The piece uses digital layering to mimic the physical sensation of scratched surfaces and built-up pigment.
The composition reflects a Scandi influence, prioritizing functional beauty and a clean, organized visual language.
By moving away from literal representation, the work invites an emotional response to color and balance alone.
