____________________________

This extraordinary work by Bruno Bani, titled "Total Eclipse," perfectly exemplifies his ability to unite geometry and light to create fascinating and contemplative compositions. The piece is realized on two overlapping canvases, one painted in blue and 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.

Note: the gold leaf reacts dynamically to external light. The incidence and direction of the light source can generate reflections and tonal variations, slightly altering the visual perception of the work depending on the point of observation.

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, deep, contrasts with the gold, which adds a touch of luxury and luminosity. The gold leaf on the circular canvas reflects light magnificently, amplifying the effect of the white LED light that emanates 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 the use of rigorous geometries and LED and UV lights. The LED light, with its soft glow, not only illuminates the work but also creates a depth and movement effect, making the eclipse visually tangible and immersive.
