With Electric Field n.11, Marco Ercoli continues his exploration of chromatic vibrations through a circular composition built for stratifications, rhythms, and visual tensions.

The circular composition, 70 cm in diameter, is constructed through a dense succession of manually applied colored cardboard modules on the wooden surface. Their arrangement creates a vibrant weave that seems to expand, contract, and rotate around the center. The image is therefore not stationary: it changes continuously depending on distance, viewing angle, and the incidence of light.

Color fields and tones that are more neutral meet and cross, creating true chromatic vibrations. Color is not used to describe a recognizable form, but becomes itself a structure, energy, and movement. Hence the title Electric Field: the surface appears to behave like a field crossed by invisible forces, in which every chromatic variation influences the next.

The special working of the cardboard also introduces a strong tactile component. The repetition of the small elements produces an almost kinetic surface, suspended between painting, collage, and relief, capable of perceptual changes as the observer moves in front of the work.

With this series, Ercoli’s research progressively sheds narrative and figure to focus on the essential elements of the visual language: color, rhythm, repetition, light, and space. The essentiality, however, does not coincide with a reduction of experience, but with an attempt to establish a more immediate relationship with the viewer.

Electric Field n.11 does not propose an image to be interpreted in a single way, but a perceptual experience: a chromatic field in which the gaze is invited to get lost, following trajectories, contrasts, and pulsations that seem to continue beyond the very boundaries of the work.

With Electric Field n.11, Marco Ercoli continues his search for chromatic vibrations through a circular composition built for stratifications, rhythms, and visual tensions.

The work arises from the juxtaposition of numerous colored cardboard modules manually applied to the wooden surface. The tight repetition of the elements generates a dynamic weave that transforms color into structure and movement, creating a visual effect capable of changing depending on distance and viewing angle.

The composition develops around a central nucleus from which different fields of energy seem to propagate; tonalities meet in wide zones that do not remain separate but contaminate each other, producing vibrant transitions and continuous perceptual variations.

In Electric Field n.11 the circle is not just a support, but an integral part of the language of the work: a closed form that, through the internal rhythm of the color fields, suggests expansion, rotation, and flow.

The surface, rich in reliefs and micro-variations, gives the work a strong tactile and almost kinetic component. Light intercepts the edges of the modules, altering color perception and emphasizing the impression of a material crossed by impulses.

With this series, Ercoli gradually moves away from figuration to focus his research on essential elements: color, rhythm, matter, light, and perception. Electric Field n.11 thus becomes an open visual field, lacking a single reading, inviting the observer to engage directly with the surface and its continuous chromatic vibrations.
