About The Artwork
THE WORK IS MADE WITH VERY DURABLE MATERIALS, the highest quality acrylic / vinylic colors and, as a support, Fabriano paper of 300g. UNICUM piece Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDY89mh1Zs0 My composition are reflections on the concept of "time" as a subjective and cultural memory, connecting the archaeological material to our contemporaneity. The legs are represented in the icon of "crossings", together with the head of the cow they form a body that crosses time and at the same time evokes the relationship between man and nature. The presence of writing in the ancient Latin character of Rome supports the figures, becoming itself an image. It's part of my research about the connection between the ancient and the contemporary. I created the drawings (which were engraved on the screen printing frames) interpreting, through the metamorphosis, fragments of ancient Roman statues of Hellenistic inspiration, the anatomical human body and the animal(cow). Starting from silkscreen printing, I developed a my special personal technique that I’ve been using for many years to create unique artworks, not to produce multiples. UNICUM. The preparatory drawings were engraved on screen printing frames, becoming the protagonist icons of the compositional stories as unique moments. I “painted” in “layers,” on Fabriano papers, applying silkscreen printing by hand in 18 colours, on Fabriano paper(300g) handling the screens as if they were paintbrushes, pencils or engraving points, thus working with superimposed “sets of shapes,” enables me to create sharp images whose strong and clean chromatic impact supports the materiality of the acrylic/vinyl colors, and at the same time renders details with great precision. The beauty of this technique also lies in the trace left by the layer of ink that passes through the screen mesh, and in the vibrant intensity of the colors.
