THE ARTWORK
In this mixed-material screenprint by Giovanna Cattaneo, a light and blue flower emerges from an intense red background. Its long green stem and leaves run across the vertical surface, guiding the eye towards the bloom gathered at the top of the sheet.
The drawing remains essential, yet the colour’s texture introduces variations that bring each area to life. Red, green, white and blue create a clear balance, sustained by the distance between elements. The composition invites a familiar motif to be observed through free contours, forceful juxtapositions and the substance of the surface.
