Description from the seller
Mario Schifano (1934–1998) – Untitled – Early 1990s

Presentation: Artwork sold with a new frame and matting.
Artistic description
The work presents an abstract composition with a strong chromatic and tactile impact, characterized by an intense yellow background on which gestural forms develop in shades of orange, brown and dark gray.
The use of enamel and sand gives the surface a particular three-dimensional texture, with reliefs and accumulations of material that emphasize the expressive character of the composition.
The painting can be traced to Mario Schifano’s informal and gestural research, in which material experimentation, freedom of gesture, and energy of color play a central role.
