Paint on wood and cardboard
29 x 20 cm

The initial composition, sketched out in ink, situates the main components and the areas where matter will be worked and layered. The paint is then added on top, like a varnish that adds lightness to the overall effect. The artist’s touch, which is visible in Pierre Antoniucci’s oeuvre, reveals the painting through resonance, repetition, shifts and drifts. Some of Pierre Antoniucci’s pieces are created on paper that has been folded at right angles or in a diamond shape to serve as the prop for the paint: this process reveals a new aspect of light and reconstructs the painting.
