THE ARTWORK
Carte castello crollo by Luca Alinari brings architecture, figures and fantastical presences together in a space that resists an immediate reading. A character dressed in red emerges among pale buildings, sinuous marks and unexpected combinations of colour. The sky and landscape are more than a simple backdrop: they participate in the same web of apparitions.
The screenprint’s forty-five colours allow transitions and contrasts that keep every part of the surface alive. The eye moves between minute details and more recognisable figures, following associations rather than a unified perspective. The title can be understood as an invitation to play and instability: an imagined world whose elements seem continually to rearrange themselves.
