THE ARTWORK
In I tetrarchi by Mirko Basaldella, the composition gathers within a small dark field crossed by vertical presences and variations of red and brown. The forms emerge through differences in density and tone, retaining a compact character that invites a closer look.
The wax-based oil pastel gives substance to the surface and keeps the relationship between mark and colour visible. The title directs attention towards a group of presences without exhausting their interpretation. The work’s intensity rests on the concentration of space and the passages that interrupt the shadow.
