THE ARTWORK
In this screenprint by Carla Badiali from the portfolio Sei fasi progressive di verticalità elastica, a green line crosses a dark field and meets a brief red accent. Higher up, a rectangle in the same green introduces a second point of orientation, separate from the continuous band.
The composition rests its balance on precise distances and restrained contrasts. The compact background makes every variation apparent, inviting the eye to follow the relationship between line, surface and interval. A few elements thus construct a rigorous space, in which colour retains an essential presence.
