About the Item
In this painting Stefanelli conveys the intrigue and mystery of oracles, who were offering counsel through prophecies and divination in the ancient times. Wise and insightful, oracles played an instrumental role in the development of society in classical antiquity. The leaflike elements in the center left indicate nature, another vital component of life in the early days. Blue and yellow rectangular shapes of the background present a contrived essence, while the orange rugged shapes with uneven edges convey a more spontaneous and energetic presence. Stefanelli succeeds in capturing the ambivalence of what an oracle may project.

- Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on CanvasBy Andrea SpinelliLocated in Firenze, ITThe present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...Category
