THE ARTWORK
In Giulio Turcato’s L’absente, bands of colour and sinuous outlines are arranged within a small vertical field. Pink and red dominate the right-hand side, while yellow and green introduce more restrained accents. The forms seem to run parallel, maintaining different distances and curves.
The broad light margin of the sheet makes their rhythm even clearer. The composition does not seek a defined subject: its movement rests on the interplay of colour fields, intervals and directions. The title can encourage an evocative reading, leaving open the relationship between the presence of colour and empty space.
