Juan Álvarez Cebrián
Composition on a piece of tissue paper.

About the Item

This square-format piece features a top-down arrangement of objects on a piece of tissue paper, which gives the painting its title. The paper, placed on a surface suggesting considerable age, serves as the base for four carefully selected objects. In the artwork, there are two seashells, collected from a coastal area and kept as mementos. These shells are not unfamiliar to the artist, who has painted them on previous occasions, adding an element of continuity to their work. To the right of the composition, a pigeon feather introduces a vertical line that contrasts with the square geometry of the canvas. This feather not only brings a sense of verticality but also adds lightness and movement amidst the stability of the other elements. At the top of the painting, a Rubik's cube, clearly aged by time, stands as the only figure that adds perspective to the piece. Its cubic structure introduces an additional dimension, and its vivid colors break with the predominantly neutral palette of the rest of the composition.
