Little Sky #09 Painting

Little Sky #09 is part of a grid of 16 paintings Called Little Skies. The 16-panel grid titled Little Skies (2020) draws on her wider work to at once launch a modernist exploration of the grid, something that underpins the development of three-point perspective in the Renaissance, while fundamentally grounding this piece in a conceptual realm. Paintings are generally made on a wall, easel or the floor. These positions tend to reproduce the view of the maker for a viewer. In these depictions of sky structured as a grid, this logic is interrupted in a work where verticality and horizontality merge and co-exists in one view repeated across sixteen moments. Little Sky #09 is the ninth moment of sky of the Grid. In Giannattasio's practice, concepts of Light, Space, Nature and Time are central. The will of capturing the 'moving instant' in the physical space in Nature is the constant research of her work. Light anf texture as an ever-present reminder that the inner space within us must be in constant balance with the outer world.
