____________________________

This extraordinary work by Bruno Bani, entitled "Total Eclipse," perfectly exemplifies his ability to blend geometry and light to create captivating and contemplative compositions. The piece is realized on two overlapping canvases, painted white and adorned with a circular canvas on the surface, decorated with gold leaf. The white LED light placed between the two canvases creates a suggestive eclipse effect, evoking the natural phenomenon with a unique simplicity and elegance.

The geometry of the canvases is essential and precise: the lower square canvas supports the upper circular canvas, creating a visual contrast that immediately draws the viewer’s attention. The circular form, a symbol of perfection and continuity, integrates harmoniously with the square, representing a balance between the material world and the celestial world.

The use of pure white and gold leaf expresses timeless elegance. White, a symbol of purity and simplicity, contrasts with gold, which adds a touch of luxury and luminosity. The gold leaf on the circular canvas reflects external 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 piece but also creates a sense of depth and movement, making the eclipse visually tangible and immersive.
