THE ARTWORK
In this 2011 mixed-media work by Achille Pace, colour concentrates in a vertical group of light, red and green presences. A thread crosses the black field in broad curves and returns, introducing a delicate network around the denser areas.
The composition finds balance in the relationship between matter and interval. Some accents emerge immediately; others reveal themselves only close up, when the fine line becomes clearer. The eye is invited to change course, moving from colour to line and from compact surface to the empty space around it.
