About The Artwork
Surrender to the captivating beauty of 'The Embrace', a canvas that blends the structured elegance of pixel images with the organic fluidity of human figures. Measuring 60 centimeters on each side, this piece draws inspiration from the emotional power and complex interaction of tango dancers, paying tribute to a dance that has always held an irresistible allure for the artist, Assunta Cassa, despite her not being a tango dancer herself. Viewers of 'The Embrace' are invited to delve into the depths of intimacy and to ponder their own life's dance, recognizing moments of support, union, and shared strength. Through this work, Assunta aims to evoke an emotional response, prompting in her audience a sense of personal recognition and reflection on the intertwined paths we walk alongside others. The choice of oil, applied with a palette knife for the subject and the abstract-figurative style, is a deliberate homage to texture, depth, and color intensity. The technique imbues the work with a vivid and tangible energy, with the materiality of oil paints allowing for an overlay of emotions, and decisive brushstrokes creating a strong and clear emotional proximity. The style of the work, straddling the line between realism and expressive abstraction, reflects Assunta's personal journey from the confines of tradition to the embrace of modern and innovative expressive forms. This contrast is present in her work, fostering an ongoing dialogue between past and future, between what is conventional and what is original. Saatchi Art now offers the chance to acquire this narrative fragment, marked with catalog number 82, signed on the back by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This work, which has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions, including the notable 'Oltre l’orizzonte' in Foggia, is also included in the artist's monographic catalog, promoting ongoing reflection on the transformative power of human connection.

The artist lives and works in her studio in San Benedetto del Tronto, in the centre of Italy. Growing up in Manfredonia, she developed a great passion for drawing, which she continued to cultivate during her university years in Pescara. After meeting a group of artists in San Benedetto del Tronto in 2008, she decided to give space to her love for art and attended training courses and art workshops, exploring both figurative and abstract art and experimenting with different techniques and media. Since 2012 she has dedicated herself solely to his artistic career. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including the International Biennial of Bari and Metropolitan Area in 2018, for three years at the AR[t]CEVIA International Art Festival and the Cimitile Prize. There have been several exhibitions abroad: Paris, Tokyo, Bratislava. Among the many solo shows, she was present in Foggia with the exhibition “Oltre l’Orizzonte” in 2017. She also designed the cover of the album “Metaphors” by the well-known American bassist Alphonso Johnson. Since May 2022 the image of her work “Malala. Stronger than fear” has been part of the permanent installation “Arte del Dialogo–Agorà” in Pieve di Cadore. Assunta Cassa has created her own original figurative language through the division of the visual space that originates from the fragmentation into pixels of digital images. In particular, she takes her cue from the “dimension” that we unconsciously live in our smartphones, computers, tablets: the tiny, infinitesimal pixels’ dimensions, which, incredibly fast in their overlapping, animate the images and give life to our screens. Assunta’s idea is to crystallize, isolate, manipulate, mix, and materialize them on her canvases, with a quantum effect. With her work she wants to show us the current reality as a fragmented pixels with intense colors that intertwine and condense into a single image, filtered by her sensitivity, her thoughts and her experiences.
