Fontaine Scarelli The After For Sale

The After is the most formally self-contained work in this body of paintings: a square canvas, 175 × 175 cm, in oil — a medium Scarelli returns to when the work demands clarity over complexity. The square format, unusual in his practice, enforces a particular equality across the composition, preventing the eye from privileging any zone over another. What comes after is the painting's abiding question, and it declines to answer directly. Instead, The After documents a state of arrival and uncertainty — the moment when what has passed is known but what follows remains undetermined. Completed in 2025, it is among the most resolved and formally assured works in the group.
