About the Item
Explosive Creativity: Guido Coletti Signed 1970s/80s Gunpowder & Mixed Media Art
Brace yourself for a truly arresting work by Italian artist Guido Coletti - a dynamic mixed-media piece where traditional materials collide with the raw energy of gunpowder. This signed artwork from the 1970s/80s is a testament to Coletti's experimental spirit, transforming canvas, wood, and paper into a vibrant, textured landscape of controlled chaos and profound artistic statement. The audacious use of gunpowder sets this piece apart, offering a rare glimpse into the more avant-garde currents of late 20th-century Italian art.
Presented on a brilliant, sun-drenched yellow background, a constellation of circular forms bursts forth. Each "eruption" is uniquely textured, bearing the distinct scorch marks and transformative touch of gunpowder, interspersed with fragments of paper that hint at deconstructed narratives or fleeting thoughts. This is not just an artwork to be seen, but to be felt-a visceral experience of creation and destruction, captured in a singular, compelling composition. Housed in a clean, modern white frame, its impact is both immediate and enduring.

Rune Fredrik Hagberg was a renowned Swedish artist that took much of his inspiration from Zen Buddhism spirituality and Eastern Calligraphy. He is represented at, among many others, the Museum of Modern Art, Stockholm, and the Norrköping Art Museum.
