Description from the seller

Beppe Giuliani

“WASSILY FOR VENICE” – poly-material opera, 1990s.

Original work by Italian artist Beppe Giuliani, entitled 'WASSILY FOR VENICE', created in the 1990s, a mature phase of his body of work.

The title is a clear homage to Wassily Kandinsky and to his symbolic and musical universe, reinterpreted by Giuliani through a personal, theatrical, and material vision, in an ideal dialogue with Venice, a place of cultural and spiritual layering.

The work is a mixed-media / assemblage technique, built through panels painted separately and subsequently assembled. There are relief-applied elements – golden modules tied with thread, red seals, and theatrical masks – which represent one of the most recognizable and iconic traits of the artist's language.

The composition alternates geometry, cosmic symbols, musical signs, and ritual references, creating a balance between abstraction and narration, painting and matter, in full coherence with Giuliani's poetics.

The painted surface shows a natural patina of age, with slight signs of wear and small areas of color loss, easily retouched, without invasive restorations; all applied elements are intact and stable. Overall condition: good.
