David Haidle (1943-2003) - Butterfly Matrix I

Detailed Description

The Work:
We present a magnificent and hypnotizing original silkscreen by the renowned American artist David Haidle, entitled "Butterfly Matrix I", executed in 1980.

The composition (visible in the image image_15.png) is a perfect example of the artist's technical virtuosity, who expertly combines the organic, detailed realism of a butterfly with a lower geometric and abstract pattern, evoking a technological "matrix" or Op Art design.

It highlights the exceptional use of smooth color gradients that run from deep brown to warm shades of ochre and gold, imparting a mystical and sophisticated atmosphere to the piece. A work highly representative of the design and graphical avant-garde of the early 80s.

Exclusive A/P Edition (Artist's Proof):
This piece has added value for collectors as it is an A/P (Artist's Proof / Prova di Artista), hand-marked in the lower left corner. Artist's proofs are traditionally reserved for the artist's personal use or for special archives before the release of the commercial numbered edition, being much rarer in the art market.

The work is properly titled at the center ("Butterfly Matrix I"), signed and dated ("David Haidle '80") in pencil by the artist on the lower margin.
