Lot No. 301


Ettore Spalletti *


(Cappelle sul Tavo 1940–2019 Spoltore)
Girandola rosa, oro, 2016, signed, titled and dated on the reverse, color impasto on board, gold leaf with tapered frame on four sides, 100 x 100 x 4 cm

This work is accompanied by a photo certificate of authenticity signed by the artist

Provenance:
Galleria Vistamare, Pescara
European Private Collection

Inside the rooms, the floor, the ceiling, the walls are white. The paintings bestow colour to the whiteness, which then becomes pink in the red room, bluish in the blue room, and so on. The intensity of the light diffuses the pigments inside the space of the room, which becomes a transparent volume of colour. I wanted to have the feeling of being immersed in the colour…
My colour gives you another colour, transforming continuously in a sort of colour that has no beginning and no end, stretching itself more and more until it hugs you, wrapping you completely.
