Andrea Racciatti - "Colgado" XXL

Technical data:

"Hanged", acrylic on canvas, 2026.
The canvas painting is intended to be stretched on a 120 x 90 cm frame. The canvas measures about 5 cm more on each side to be able to stretch it properly on the frame.
The shipment is made by rolling the canvas onto a cardboard tube, protected, inside a packaging box to prevent damage and reduce shipping costs. The painting is sent without stretcher or frame.
The painting is original and unique, signed by the artist on the back of the canvas.
The certificate of authenticity is attached.
The photos that can be seen in the gallery give an idea of how the painting would look in different environments. The detail photos also allow appreciating the painting technique in a zoomed-in manner.
The colors of the painting may present a minimal variation on screen, depending on the photo and the monitor calibration used to view it. Differences in the materiality of the paint may also be observed, as I seek richness and vibrancy of color through the layering of multiple coats.
It is recommended to take the painting to be stretched on the frame by a specialized place so that it is mounted correctly.

Statement:

My training is in painting, but in practice I have explored different ways to express my ideas. I work by producing series based on a single idea or “theme” that interests me. Sometimes, series are built within a larger “theme” where each of them, taken together, forms a whole.
The painting “Hanged” is part of a series in which I began working by doing a “scouting,” a kind of reconnaissance of the new place I inhabit, Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona. I roam its streets, observe terraces, sunsets, squares, etc. It is a way of portraying what surrounds me and that presents itself to me, provoking a sense of wonder.
Written text and photography are generally the support for my practice; they function as a trigger for ideas and thoughts that materialize in my drawings and paintings.
I believe in art as a tool for individual and social transformation.
I am interested in having my work referenced and engage in dialogue with issues that are common to everyone, as inhabitants of the same world, affected by the same imaginaries, symbols and dreams.
