AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Six Engravings by Mimmo Paladino form a powerful collection of symbolic and narrative images that exemplify his contribution to the Transavanguardia movement. Each engraving depicts a surreal and dreamlike scene, inhabited by spectral figures, fragmented bodies, and enigmatic gestures. The compositions are charged with psychological tension and spiritual connotations, evoking themes of transformation, ritual, and myth. Paladino's expressive stroke and his palette of muted yet varied colors enhance the emotional resonance of the series, drawing the viewer into a space that feels both ancient and immediate. The figures seem to emerge or dissolve into their environment, reinforcing a sense of ambiguity between presence and absence, material and metaphysical. Overall, the six engravings create a poetic cycle of visual storytelling: open, introspective, and imbued with a timeless symbolic language.
Starting with the first artwork at the top left:
Simple Figures
The animals advance
3 Drops in the Valley
Four Giants at Dawn
5 Zarathustra
The Dreamer
High-quality wooden frame included.
The works are located in Italy and are shipped from Italy (Rome).
