____________________________

This extraordinary work by Bruno Bani, titled "Total Eclipse", perfectly exemplifies his skill in uniting geometry and light to create fascinating and contemplative compositions. The piece is made on two stacked canvases, one rectangular painted blue and a round canvas on the surface decorated with gold leaf.

The white LED light inserted between the two canvases creates a suggestive eclipse effect, evoking the natural phenomenon with a unique simplicity and elegance.

Note: the gold leaf reacts dynamically to external light. The incidence and direction of the light source can generate reflections and shades, subtly varying the visual perception of the work depending on the viewing point.

The geometry of the canvases is essential and precise: the lower rectangular canvas supports the upper circular canvas, creating a visual contrast that immediately captures attention. The circular shape, symbol of perfection and continuity, integrates harmoniously with the rectangle, representing a balance between the material world and the celestial one.

The use of blue and gold leaf expresses timeless elegance. The blue, deeply contrasted with the gold, adds a touch of luxury and brightness. The gold leaf on the circular canvas reflects light magnificently, amplifying the effect of the white LED light emanating between the two canvases. This combination creates a magical atmosphere, transforming the work into a unique visual and sensory experience.

"Total Eclipse" symbolically represents the astronomical event of an eclipse, a recurring theme in Bruno Bani's works, known for his ability to evoke space and its mysteries through rigorous geometries and LED and UV lights. The LED light, with its soft glow, not only illuminates the work but also creates a sense of depth and movement, making the eclipse visually tangible and immersive.
