THE ARTWORK
In this screenprint on canvas by Lucio Ranucci, two women sit close together on a red sofa. Light dresses and faces stand out from the background through dark contours and colour fields, while the seat’s curved form unites the presences in the same space.
The composition alternates frontality and small changes of orientation, emphasising gestures, gazes and distances. The eye can dwell on either figure or follow the balance of the whole. The scene retains an intimate, narrative dimension, sustained by the force of red and the measured rhythm of forms.
