Schifano returns to water as both a surface and an idea. The reference to Monet is unmistakable, yet there is no sense of contemplation here\u2014only speed.<\/p>

The painting is built through broad planes of color: a light blue sky animated by swirling strokes of white, layered blue and green water applied with a palette knife, and white water lilies that flash across the surface like graphic bursts. They are not depicted as flowers but as signs. Schifano reduces them to icons, almost like logos, scattering them across the canvas with the same immediacy through which Pop culture flattens and reproduces images.<\/p>

The choice of copper as the support is fundamental. The metal beneath the paint makes the light vibrate, gives the work a tangible presence, and transforms it into an object. Water is not a window onto the landscape; it is a screen. It reflects, absorbs, and gives back.<\/p>

In this work, Schifano completes the circle between Informal art and Pop Art. He takes one of the most iconic themes of modern painting\u2014water, light, and nature\u2014and reinterprets it through his own visual language: rapid gesture, acid-bright color, and mediated memory.<\/p>

Water is therefore a landscape without depth, yet filled with time. It is Monet seen through the lens of television, advertising, and the vibrant energy of Rome. It is nature no longer experienced directly, but through its image.<\/p>

Schifano torna a confrontarsi con l\u2019acqua come superficie e come idea. Il riferimento a Monet \u00e8 evidente, ma qui non c\u2019\u00e8 contemplazione: c\u2019\u00e8 velocit\u00e0.Il quadro si costruisce per grandi piani di colore: un cielo azzurro lavorato a vortici di bianco, un\u2019acqua blu e verde stratificata a spatola, e sopra le ninfee bianche che scattano come lampi grafici. Non sono fiori descritti, sono segni. Schifano le riduce a icone, quasi a logo, e le sparge sulla tela con la stessa immediatezza con cui la cultura pop appiattisce le immagini.La scelta del supporto in rame \u00e8 fondamentale. Il metallo dietro alla pittura fa vibrare la luce, d\u00e0 corpo all\u2019opera e la trasforma in oggetto. _Water_ non \u00e8 una finestra sul paesaggio: \u00e8 uno schermo. Riflette, assorbe, restituisce.In quest\u2019opera Schifano chiude il cerchio tra informale e pop. Prende uno dei temi pi\u00f9 sacri della pittura moderna – l\u2019acqua, la luce, la natura – e lo riscrive con il suo linguaggio: gesto rapido, colore acido, memoria mediatica._Water_ \u00e8 quindi un paesaggio senza profondit\u00e0, ma pieno di tempo. \u00c8 Monet passato attraverso la televisione, la pubblicit\u00e0 e l\u2019energia di Roma. \u00c8 la natura vista non pi\u00f9 dal vero, ma dalla sua immagine.Per ricevere maggiori informazioni […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7807,"template":"","class_list":["post-7801","fw-portfolio","type-fw-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fw-portfolio-category-modern","fw-portfolio-tag-mario-schifano"],"yoast_head":"\nWater - Mario Schifano - Bernab\u00f2 Home Gallery<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Acquista l'esclusiva opera Water di Mario Schifano.
