Series description and interpretation
Leporelli
The leporello is a list of colours and tells the story of the stratification of seven layers of colour. This work sprang from a conversation with Fiorenzo Fallani and follows another experience I had with the superimposition of colours in serigraphy. It was conceived as an extension of my painting using another technique. My way of staying in the painting corresponds to the serigraphic technique. One colour on top of another, on top of another, and so on.
This work was created from the correspondence of these two ways of proceeding.
Serigraphy artists call them progressives and in order to reach the final construction of the image they enter wholly inside my work.
The progressives show the trajectory of a process step by step.
You start with one colour, which is superimposed with another.
