About the Item

Acrylic and black sand on canvas. Signature, date, and title on back. Ferrari's work has all developed around the sign, passing moreover through different interpretative phases. Since the 1980s, specifically since 1983, the sign becomes the undisputed protagonist of Events, works in which he does not use scripture to narrate, but to "stop" himself on a "page time symbol." The sign is totally free from superstructures and is able to express itself in its totality, manifesting itself dynamically in the entire surface of the painting. Represented as linear writing, the sign appears as if it were shouted. These works are made with black sand from Otranto, a material that allows him to express all the theatricality of the sign and that even today represents the fundamental element of his painting: through the sand the sign traces its paths in the space of the painting and beyond. The work has moisture gore.
