Original artwork description:

Artist: Alessandro Butera Title: Materic Rhythm No. 1 Year: 2022 Technique: Oil/Acrylic on Raw Canvas, Impasto Spatula and Dripping Dimensions: 97 x 106 cm (38 x 42 in.)

"Materic Rhythm No. 1" is a powerful declaration of Abstract Expressionism that fuses American gesturalism with the dense, textural materia of Italian painting. The work is a true manifesto of action. Born from the artist’s thirty years of experience as an art dealer, this painting marks a "Return to the Informal", where the creative gesture is not merely line, but the construction of volume and form.

The paint is applied to the raw canvas with visceral force through spatula strokes, dripping, and splatters, creating a complex and dense stratification. The composition is a controlled chromatic battleground, dominated by the tension between Yellow and Gold Orange—which radiate warmth and light—and the dark Military Green framework, which imposes a sense of structure and depth. The thick application of impasto creates a surface that has palpable weight and volume, capturing kinetic energy and transforming chaos into a pulsating visual rhythm. The heavy impasto work ensures the painting is not just to be viewed, but to be felt, a signature of the artist. Signed by the artist and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
