Fragmented Typefaces 1-12 is a series of paintings produced by applying several layers of oilstick on the stenciled canvas. The graphic yet pictorial quality of the works is due to fact that the artist decided to experiment with the crossover between typographical text with painting technique. The works present irregular patterns of abstract shapes that are taken from one of Amorales’ encrypted typographic alphabets that has been used on previous projects. The works that include “readable” text, are cancelled by superimposing the abstract shapes. These texts are prose poems written by the artists, which describe autobiographical events that are then partially hidden. The abstract works of chaotic pattern resemble pictographic writing.

These paintings evoke a fragmented sense of meaning that dwells between legibility and illegibility.
