AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title of the work: Unstable Beauty - 2025
Brief description of the work
This work explores the human figure as a fragile presence rather than as a defined identity. The image is built through a direct and intuitive painting process, in which the face emerges more clearly while the body remains more open and undefined. The contrast between control and spontaneity creates a tension between form and dissolution, without resorting to narration or symbolism. The painting invites a silent, prolonged gaze, in which the viewer can encounter the figure without explanations or resolutions.
Technical details
Edition: original unique work, handmade
Technique: oil on shellac-treated cardboard
Support: artist's cardboard
Dimensions: 50 × 70 cm
Orientation: vertical
Signature: signed on the back
Year: 2025
Artistic process
The work arises from a gestural and layered painting process. The initial drawing is made with charcoal and/or sanguine, subsequently fixed and integrated with oil colors and shellac interventions. The drips, corrodions, fades, and partially unresolved areas are intentional elements of the painting language and derive directly from the executing gesture.
Conditions
The work is in overall good condition. There are surface variations, drips, and absorbencies of the support consistent with the technique used. Minor irregularities of the cardboard and tonal differences are characteristics of the creative process and not defects. The edges have a non-painted white margin due to the mounting of the cardboard during the painting process; any slight fraying along the edges are normal consequences of studio work. Photographs are an integral part of the description.
Note
Possible color deviations are due to light, monitor and camera.
Biography of the artist
Contemporary Italian artist active in figurative-expressionist painting. Their work investigates the human figure through a gestural and direct language, balancing drawing construction and painterly dissolution. The works are created with stratified processes that combine drawing and painting, leaving visible traces of gesture and matter as an integral part of the image. Recent production focuses on unique works on cardboard and canvas, characterized by immediacy of execution and strong figurative presence.
Packaging and shipping
Carefully packed with rigid protective materials and shipped rolled. Tracked and insured shipping. Work sold without a frame.
