AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Artist: Antonio Sciacca
Title: Abstract Seascape (Conceptual Horizon)
Period: Early 2000s
Technique: Enamel on canvas
Dimensions: 70 x 50 cm
One-of-a-kind artwork, signed in the original by the artist (lower right).
Composition and Atmosphere
In this early-2000s work, Antonio Sciacca explores the boundary between informal abstraction and landscape suggestion. The canvas is divided horizontally into two dominant fields that evoke the primordial encounter between the sky (or the sandy earth) and the sea. The work does not depict a physical place, but conveys its chromatic and luminous essence through an extreme synthesis.
The deft use of enamel on canvas here is rendered with a sensitivity that differs from the tributes to Burri:
Lower Layer (The Blue): The blue enamel is worked with a vibrant, undulating gesture. White reflections surface like sea foam, using the enamel’s natural gloss to simulate the movement and refraction of water.
Upper Wash (L'Ocra/Gold): The upper layer is a dense, stratified stroke in tones of gold, ochre, and sand. The texture is grainy and rich, evoking a zenithal sunlight or a desert expanse that is reflected in the ocean.
The Horizon: The demarcation line is not sharp, but jagged, creating a dynamic tension that causes the observer's eye to oscillate between the two masses of color.
This 'Abstract Seascape' testifies to Sciacca's versatility in moving from conceptual rigor to a more lyrical and evocative painting. Although the approach is informal, the balance of proportions and the choice of warm tones juxtaposed with cool ones reveal a deep knowledge of color theory and classical composition.
It is a work of remarkable scope, capable of conveying a sense of contemplative peace and, at the same time, of material energy, thanks to the thickness of the enamels that seem almost to vibrate on the canvas.
