THE ARTWORK
In Eliseo Mattiacci’s Concezionalità, light elements arranged in ordered sequences occupy a dark rectangular field. Repetitions recall a collection, sample display or classification system, while the word below the image introduces another level of comparison.
The 1971/72 screenprint connects objects, organisation and language. The contrast between the sheet’s open margin and the density of the central area focuses attention on differences within the sequence. The eye recognises an order, yet is also invited to question how that order is constructed and named.
