Olie af Andrea Benetti i 2020
H70 cm x B70 cm.
oil and oxides on bas-relief in plaster on canvas
This collection of works was born to remember that the styles of figurative, symbolist and abstract painting were conceived in their embryonic phase by primitive man, in the caves of prehistory. Some colored geometric shapes, found in rock paintings, symbols codified by Professor André Leroi Gourhan, are revised, transfigured, idealized, dreamed, reinvented in the works of Andrea Benetti, who wants to pay a dutiful homage to the true origins of abstract art and to those who invented it.
