Allan Gandhi

Allan Gandhi’s painting exists between figuration and its dissolution, questioning the traditional idea of portraiture and of the subject as a stable category. His male figures do not seek to represent reality, but rather to push its limits through deformations and evocative gestures. The rapid, pulsating brushstroke affirms the material autonomy of painting as a form of resistance to codification. Elements such as gesture or saliva function as performative indices of the pictorial process itself.

The composition is fragmented through cuts and assemblages that destabilize the closed structure of the canvas. There is no predefined project, but rather a practice guided by gestures and imagined memories. His work inhabits an intermediate space between memory and fiction, where instability is central. In this space, painting constantly renews its own language.
