THE ARTWORK
In Paolo Scirpa’s Composizione, vertical colour bands stand side by side and break off, creating a surface crossed by luminous transitions. Blues, greys and light tones introduce different depths, while changes in height interrupt the continuity of individual strips.
The 2018 oil pastel on paper retains a perceptible texture, making colour less uniform and more vibrant. The eye can follow the vertical direction or cross the meeting points between bands. The whole connects rigorous construction with material variations, maintaining a fluid, intimate inner light.
