About the Item

In "Passing Touch at a Bar", the artist captures a fleeting moment of connection in a lively yet intimate setting. The scene focuses on the back of a woman sitting on a bench, her form delicately rendered in bold pastels, while a man in a collared shirt and pants walks by. The simplicity of the figures, contrasted with the suggestion of movement, evokes a sense of anticipation and unspoken interaction. The use of pastel lends a dreamlike quality to the work, blurring the line between reality and emotion. With subtle gestures and careful attention to posture, the piece encapsulates the tension and allure of a moment that’s both ordinary and profound. This artwork invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty of everyday encounters and the unspoken stories that unfold in passing moments.

Torre Velasca
Located in Milano, MI
Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover. The artwork represents the famous Velasca Tower in Milan. This artwork was exhibited during the Daniela Gullotta...
