This work, donated by the Galleria De’ Foscherari, is one of the pieces from Sartelli’s final period. These final works seem to mark a new approach by the artist: an explosion of nature with fragments scattered on the surface, almost like an entire universe flattened onto a sheet of paper, pierced by meteorites as they travel towards the unknown. In this piece the artist has scratched, scraped, and pierced the paper over and over again, not simply to create a third dimension but one that is far deeper than that to which we are normally accustomed. Countless openings into an infinite universe that each of us longs to see.
You are all set!
