Quadratura #3 (dx)
Designed by ROBOCOOP.
‘The landscape, enclosed in the arch of a portico, as a square or rectangle of the window, acquires greater metaphysical value, because it solidifies and is isolated from the space that surrounds it. Architecture completes nature.’
Giorgio De Chirico - Valori Plastici, 1920.
Part of the 2020 'Quadrature' exhibition at Divario Space in Rome, the artwork draws inspiration from Quadraturism, a pictorial genre that emerged in the latter half of the 16th century.
Quadraturism involved creating architectural illusions—painted directly onto walls and ceilings—using strict perspective techniques to evoke a sense of depth and grandeur. In this piece, a Baroque-inspired faux architecture, rendered in Pompeian red, is seen from a slightly shifted-left perspective.
This illusionary structure opens onto an imaginary landscape that encompasses the Vatican City, skillfully blending reality and fantasy to create an effective and convincing sense of depth.
Hand-cut, multilayered prints on Freelife Vellum 300gsm paper and gloss silk paper.
The wooden bespoke structures have been handcraft assembling the different layers and framed with a glazing layer and an off-white passepartout at the end.
