Item description

2249 / 2000 à é è ì î ó ò ù Work by the Italian artist Antonio Mignozzi, created on canvas prepared in fresco style and framed, canvas dimensions 35 × 50 cm (framed 44.5x59). The work displays Mignozzi's stylistic signature, with an essential composition, sign-like features, and a suspended atmosphere, which harks back to his poetics of matter, canvas as plaster, and sign as ancient graffiti. The work is signed at the bottom (and bears a signature on the back) and comes from a private collection. In perfect structural condition, the original frame enhances the artist's full aesthetic sensibility. It is confirmed that Mignozzi uses «sack paintings prepared in fresco» as support, which «are offered as fragments of detached wall, of plaster taken from the recesses of a cultural memory». The work sports a surface that recalls this material effect (see scratches, traces, almost “rough” structure), therefore consistent with the artist's declared technique. In the work, the subject is an essential frontal figure, with a stylized face, with a play of simplification of contours and volumes. Sources say that Mignozzi “as the years pass … tends more and more towards essentiality, towards a meditated discourse … where calligraphic excavation and compositional balance are enhanced”. Antonio Mignozzi was born in 1942 in Trebisacce (CS), studied at the Brera Academy in Milan, and has lived and worked in Verbania since 1973. His painting practice investigates visual memory, matter, and the suspension of time between figuration and abstraction. His works have been presented in numerous solo exhibitions in Milan, Brescia, Locarno and Verbania, and are present in specialized auction catalogues. The artist's current market signals passages that fall into modest ranges, making this work an interesting opportunity for research collectors or for contemporary design environments.
