Andrea Racciatti - "Magic Forest" XXL

Technical data:

"Magic Forest", acrylic on canvas, 2026.
The canvas painting is intended to be stretched on a 90 x 120 cm frame. The canvas measures about 5 cm more on each side to be able to stretch it properly on the frame.
Shipping is done by rolling the canvas around a cardboard tube, protected, inside a packaging box to prevent damage and reduce shipping costs. The painting is sent without stretcher and without any frame.
The painting is original and unique, and is 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 handling as a zoom.
The colors of the painting may show a minimum variation on screen, depending on the photo and the monitor calibration with which it is viewed. Differences in the materiality of the paint may also be observed, as I seek the richness and vibrancy of color through the layering of coats.
It is recommended to take the painting to a specialized place to stretch it on a frame 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, together, constitutes a whole.
The painting "Magic Forest" is part of a series I have been working on in which I observe people alone or in company in parks of different cities. I observe them and photograph the scene without being seen, to then interpret it in my studio.
The faceless beings, marching among the greenery, light and shadows of that depicted nature, embody the various forms of expression of love, or sometimes merely announce its loss or the nostalgia of pleasure.
Literary text and photography are generally the supports of my practice; they function as triggers for ideas and thoughts that materialize in my drawings and paintings.
I believe in art as a tool for personal and social transformation.
I am interested in my work being referenced and in dialogue with issues that are common to all of us, as inhabitants of the same world, affected by the same imaginaries, symbols and dreams.
