About the Item

In this work from her geometric period, Isa Di Battista Gorini employs gauze as both a structural and poetic element, layering it over the painted surface like a delicate veil that both reveals and conceals. The geometric forms, essential yet never rigid, unfold across planes and transparencies, suspended in a balance that appears fragile and yet is deeply intentional. On the canvas, traces of time can be seen: small fractures in the material, light abrasions, uneven veils of color. These are not imperfections, but presences-time is not erased, but embraced as part of the creative process. The gauze, aged or partially faded, interacts with these elements, making the work not just an image, but a visual memory. Isa Di Battista Gorini is a Milan-based painter who studied painting and decoration at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. After an early career in advertising graphics, she devoted herself entirely to painting, developing a personal artistic language focused on materiality, transparency, and abstract form. In the 1980s, she began to use gauze as a distinctive material in her work, creating layered compositions rich in lightness, transparency, and symbolic geometry. Her paintings explore the relationship between the visible and the invisible, between sign and silence, between structure and poetry. Through exhibitions such as "The Mystery of the Sign," "Secret Stones," and "My Robots," Gorini presented a vision of art as a process of transformation-a language shaped by both matter and spirituality. Her style blends lyrical abstraction with structural tension, encouraging a contemplative dialogue with the viewer.

Pair Folk Art Paintings on Wood Panel, 1980s, by Moses Tolliver "MoseT"
Located in Southbury, CT
My uncle Bob was a country lawyer in rural Alabama and Moses Tolliver was one of his friends and clients.

Both the human figure and the snake were painted on scrap wood paneling and each has an aluminum beer pull-tab on the back for hanging. The works have been framed so the pull tab is not visible; if you prefer, simply remove the frames and both pieces will be as created. The snake painting...
