I just want to share the recent stacked letter works by Jesse Amado that are available. Both are painted in the Yves Klein blue (IKB 79) that has become iconic of his oeuvre. Yves Klein considered that this color had a quality close to pure space and he associated it with immaterial values beyond what can be seen or touched. Both of the stacked letters are almost illegible, forcing the viewer to take a closer look. They invite you in and once you discover what they spell out you are left wondering about the meaning. Forever Gibberish is particularly interesting because only the word "forever" is spelled out and the rest of the letters are random.
