THE ARTWORK
Curves, small dots and bundles of lines occupy the light space of this etching by Michel Seuphor from the book Ora di noi. Forms draw close and overlap without becoming closed figures, keeping the different directions of the marks recognisable.
Denser texture coexists with delicate passages and broad intervals, giving the composition a lively, discontinuous rhythm. The eye can follow curves or dwell on small isolated presences. The relationship between order and freedom is thus built through minute details that invite close observation of the etched surface.
