THE ARTWORK
In this screenprint from Umberto Mastroianni’s Trinità portfolio, a green field hosts black and yellow forms crossed by red accents. The central core runs obliquely, while small elements along the edge keep the entire circular space active.
Colour contrasts create an image that is compact but not closed. The eye follows the interlocking forms, recognises curves and corners, then returns to the relationship between structure and background. The sheet’s light surface isolates the circle and reveals its energy more clearly, resting on the variety of marks and their reciprocal tension.
