Description from the seller
An extraordinary kinetic labyrinth, the vibrant vision of Davide Nido
Immerse yourself in the hypnotic and colorful universe of Davide Nido (1966-2014), one of the most innovative and rapidly rising names in Italian contemporary art, famous for his historic participation in the 53rd Venice Biennale. This exceptional and highly sought-after graphic work, titled "Coriandoli e Auto" (Confetti and Car), represents a masterful synthesis of the artist's deeply unique and tactile research.
The composition is a brilliant and playful allegory of eco-futurism and sustainable mobility, featuring a stylized electric car connected to a sinuous charging plug. The entire silhouette is carved by Nido's iconic concentric "confetti" motifs, exploding in primary reds, emerald greens, intense cobalt blues, and sunny yellows. What truly elevates this work is the magnificent, sophisticated dry-embossed background: a continuous constellation of raised circular motifs, non-colored, transforming the paper into an organic, three-dimensional bas-relief. The contrast between the quiet sculptural white background and the thunderous, chaotic energy of the colorful circular droplets creates a visually and sensorially stunning experience. Edition 61/140. The sheet is structurally immaculate, free of gore, bloom, or yellowing. The three-dimensional embossing is perfectly preserved, and the colors are vivid, saturated, and bright. The lot will be properly packed and shipped with courier partners and online tracking. For this lot, no shipments outside the European Union.
