Sulla terra degli ori di Bisso


Sulla terra degli ori di Bisso (On the land of Bisso’s golds), 2020, mixed media on canvas, 262 x 200 cm.

On the land of Bisso's golds is intended to recall the richness of the byssus thread, like sea gold, a natural silk which, being tied and leant on the large canvas, reminds us of its two-dimensionality.

         
It resembles the image of papercraft, illustrated card games that usually wait to be reconstructed after being cut; now, it remains static in the painting.
The drawing, made up of isolated shapes, refers to an action and a frozen imaginary, constituting a land of gold, inhabited by animal fragments and orange mats that appeared in a dream, which one day might become a three-dimensional object.
