Composition

In the intense creative career of Sermidi this work of the Sixties is an example of abstract expressionism. Certainly, the fundamental reference of this phase is Jackson Pollock, but the Mantuan artist constructs a dense draft of signs more methodical than the results of the great master. We can recognize a diagonal intention that runs through the canvas from the top right to the bottom left, thickening a cloud of traces that recalls also the sublime experience of Tancredi. Thus, in Sermidi exacteness is combined with energy, and the stubbornness of the research comes to an intermediate but definitive result, exposing a remarkable substance of expression.
