THE ARTWORK
In Gianbecchina’s Ancora un calvario, an upturned face emerges in the lower part of the scene. Around it, red, yellow and grey fields construct a harsh environment, crossed by vertical forms and marks recalling the tension of the sacred theme.
The screenprint alternates broad areas of colour and more intimate details, focusing attention on the figure’s expression. The title directs the reading towards suffering and its persistence without confining the image to a precise episode. The contrast between the human gaze and surrounding space sustains an intense, questioning emotional dimension.
