LOUIS KAHN - Salk Institute (2025)Mixed-media painting
by Gill Gilberto Borghesi
£520.98
Original artwork description
Anyone who has ever stood, even briefly, before the architecture of Louis Kahn knows the feeling: silence becomes space, light reveals structure, and form speaks with quiet strength. Is born from that experience — an attempt to make it visible and shareable. At the center of the work is a deep, central perspective that cuts through the void between the blocks of the Salk Institute, drawing the eye toward the horizon. A tiny human figure appears in the distance — not a subject, but a measure, placed only to emphasize the scale and vastness of the space.
My technique is a refined fusion of photographic memory and ancient alchemy: images are imprinted onto wooden panels and reworked through a textural layering of earth pigments and oxides. I use egg white as a natural binder, fixing the colors with sunlight in a slow, organic process. The result is a unique work that transforms architectural rigor into a millenary artifact with a profound tactile consistency.
The work is created on a wooden panel by imprinting a photographic image, which serves as the visual and emotional matrix. The colors — made from earth pigments and oxides — are fixed by sunlight, using egg whites as a natural binder. A slow, essential process that echoes the rhythm of matter and the time of architecture.
As a complement, the store also features another artwork that pays homage to contemporary architecture.
Complete with certificate of holographic authenticity.
