AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Elusive Treasure of Antonio Sciacca
Dimensions: 50x70 cm, 'Without a Past' is an epochal work by Master Antonio Sciacca, part of his renowned series inspired by Diabolik. Created with a complex technique of collage and graphic interventions, the work reconstructs comic strips and panels, focusing on Diabolik's enigmatic face and narrative fragments that evoke his mystery.
This work is a bold cultural dialogue, recognized and published in Volume 1 "When Art Meets Art" (p. 113), as a testament to its critical value. Born from a collaboration between Sciacca and critic Vittorio Sgarbi to pay homage to Italian comics, this series, titled "Crime Knows No Borders", was created for the release of the Manetti Bros.' new Diabolik film. It then carried out an itinerant tour through Italian cinema halls, broadening its reach.
Sciacca, drawing inspiration from Nouveau Réalisme (Mimmo Rotella) and Pop Art (Roy Lichtenstein), develops a unique technique. Instead of altering or enlarging the images, he reassembles them into a layered, three-dimensional collage, enriched by his own graphic interventions. This process gives the vignettes a new sculptural form and a deep meaning, offering a sophisticated and original homage to popular culture and to sequential art. 'The Unattainable Treasure' demonstrates Sciacca's ability to dialogue with the history of art to create contemporary languages of great impact and value.
