Description from the seller
Artwork attributed to Elvio Trevisan, dated 1969, from a period of the artist's full expressive maturity.
The painting belongs to the realm of informal and gestural painting, with an intense, tactile chromatic construction, typical of Italian artistic research in the late 1960s.
The painted surface is animated by layered patches, free marks, and a dynamic tension that suggests a dialogue between gesture and matter. The non-figurative composition reveals a subtle balance between control and impulse, with a strong gestural presence and an expressive use of color.
The work bears a signature and date (1969) and can be attributed to the artist's production documented in the Veneto milieu, also appearing in auction records (including Fidesarte).
Good overall condition, with normal signs of wear consistent with the age of the work.

Historical and artistic context.
In the 1960s many Venetian painters moved among Informalism, gestural sign-making and material lyricism, in dialogue with European currents but with a strong territorial identity.
Trevisan enters this context with a painting that is not decorative but existential, where the gesture becomes a trace of an inner experience more than a mere formal exercise.
