Four “notes”, four contiguous “photograms” represent a clear blue sky and present the word “lightness”. The sky is clear because before reaching the “sky” one’s gaze is intercepted by the flight of a bird or a plane, otherwise it would be simply “blue”. Canvases in oil and acrylic represent an undetermined time-space. Two initial paintings apparently symmetrical (were it not for the presence of the text); a third rectangle, “Watt”, of only marginally greater height and width than the parts which precede it and the painting which follows it. This last square retains in the final vertical edge of the whole, held in the beak of the two elements, the free flight of the four pairs of wings. It could be said the work is hitching a ride from Leonardo to Panamarenko, not forgetting Richter. |
