THE ARTWORK
In Salvatore Fiume’s Abbraccio, a reclining figure emerges from a dark background through broad luminous areas. The warm tones of the body meet the intense red of the fabric, while the outlines simplify without losing a sense of volume. The composition gathers movement within a compact field.
The title suggests an emotional reading, yet the image remains open and above all painterly. The mixed-material screenprint highlights the relationship between colour fields and surface, inviting close attention to the substance of the transitions. The contrast between shadow and light sustains the figure’s presence.
