“Le strade del mondo” is a work with a very strong visual impact, built through a dense weave of lines, intersections and areas of color that animate the entire surface. The intense yellow and deep green emerge with extraordinary force on the dark background, while the combination of oil and enamel gives the painting materiality, brilliance and a continuous movement. An original, energetic work that is immediately recognizable, capable of catching the eye from the very first moment.

Created in 2009 and marked on the back with the archive number 930, the work probably belongs to the cycle of “Paths in search of color,” one of the most recognizable cores of Giorgio Gost’s production. The signature, the date and the title placed directly by the artist on the back of the canvas and the artist’s authentication on a photo with blind stamp and archive number reinforce the identification and authenticity of the painting.

The work is presented in excellent condition. The silver frame, of excellent craftsmanship and well fitted to the painting, features interesting satin finishes distributed in a nearly regular pattern, which embellish the surface and make it visually more dynamic. The absence of glass also allows full appreciation of the material, the reliefs and the brightness of the enamel.

Giorgio Gost, Italian artist born in 1962, has built an original research based on color, geometric forms and material experimentation. Among his best-known cycles are the “Paths,” the “Capsules of Time” and the series “After,” devoted to a personal rereading of major figures of modern and contemporary art, from Warhol and Manzoni to Fontana, De Chirico and Boetti.

Color rendering and the perception of details in the photos may vary slightly depending on the screen used for viewing; in person the work retains its full visual presence.
