Stefano Nurra, Istante e la meta, is an acrylic painting with gesso from 2025 in a limited edition 1/1, measuring 30 × 40 cm in black, white and green, hand-signed, created in Italy and depicting a geometric, parcelled golf landscape with tactile green blocks against an absolute black background.
Description from the seller
This contemporary work offers a parcelled and geometric vision of the golf landscape, transforming the playing field into a sophisticated spatial and material abstraction. The canvas is dominated by a rigorous composition, built through two large rectangular blocks of emerald green vibranto crossing on an absolute black background, creating a kind of emotional planimetric map. The strong materiality of the painting defines the boundaries of these artificial "greens". The artist lays the color with dense, impasto-like spatula strokes that rise in relief, especially along the edges, giving the work tangible dimensionality and a sense of life of its own. This gritty and irregular texture evokes the physicality of the terrain, in stark contrast with the flat and matte application of the black background, which seems to represent the void or the surrounding "out of frame" area.
