THE ARTWORK
In this lithograph by Salvatore Emblema, pink, green and blue spread across an ochre-coloured network. The coloured forms seem to pass through the surface without enclosing it: between gestures, the grid remains visible, maintaining a continuous rhythm beneath the colour.
The vertical composition alternates delicate presences and stronger accents. The eye moves up and down the sheet, following curves, small marks and overlaps. The relationship between regular texture and freely placed patches gives the image a fluid balance, in which each colour retains its own voice without separating from the others.
