Circus (2017) Original Ink Drawing by Maurizio Puglisi
24 x 33 x 0.2cm (unframed)
£257.34
Original artwork description
ink pen and ballpoint on paper 220 g/m , line series
The "upside-down" world evokes self-mastery, control of body and mind, and overcoming the force of gravity. It is an image of extreme discipline and conscious risk: the acrobat balances between fall and triumph.
The stripes alternate light and dark, following the muscular volumes, dualities (light/shadow, strength/fragility, order/chaos);
rhythm and movement, as if the body itself were a score of lines;
a circus costume that combines spectacle and performative identity;
a possible echo of constraint (the stripes "imprison" the form) and, at the same time, of expressive freedom.
The circus is an archetype of illusion and hidden truth: behind the apparent lightness and wonder lies rigorous work, repetition, and sacrifice. The acrobat embodies the human being who transforms precariousness into art, who makes hidden effort visible and elevates it to spectacle.
Black and White and Ink Technique
The absence of color focuses attention on form, line, and contrast. It symbolizes expressive purity, intensity, and essentiality: what matters is the structure of the gesture and the inner tension, not the ornamentation.
The drawing speaks of inner balance achieved through the body. The acrobat is not just a performer: he is a metaphor for someone who, by reversing his perspective, finds a new stability. The stripes transform the body into a field of opposing forces held together by willpower and technique. The result is an image of taut grace, of vulnerability and power at the same time: a body suspended between earth and sky, a symbol of discipline, spectacle, and transformation.
