THE ARTWORK
In this 2003 chalk work by Paolo Scirpa, light blue and pale beams intersect above an intense blue background. Diagonals construct a dynamic network, in which some directions seem to advance and others recede, suggesting a space traversed by light.
The surface preserves the material’s variations, making colour transitions soft and vibrant. The almost square format concentrates intersections and invites successive paths. The eye encounters a regular structure, yet differences in intensity, edges and overlaps keep the image open, suspended between geometric drawing and perceptual movement.
