Italian Style | Diptych "Tension of the Near Touch"
Black and White Spatialist Wall Sculpture 40x40 cm | Emotional Design Art
This artwork is a powerful diptych, part of the Italian Style series, which elevates the concept of Spatialism into a dimension of intense emotional narrative. Conceptually titled "Tension of the Near Touch" or "Suspended Desire," the piece is a masterwork of contrast and geometry, ideal for collectors and lovers of luxury interior design.
Technical Details and Spatial Invasion (SEO)
Each module of the diptych is a perfect square of 40 x 40 cm. This dimension, combined with its depth, is aimed at a precise spatial statement.
Sculptural Depth: The maximum total projection from the wall is 16 cm. This precise depth makes the work a WALL SCULPTURE, not just a relief, challenging the wall's two-dimensionality with a calculated volumetric assertion.
Technique and Materials: The work is realized using acrylic and fabric on MDF. This technique ensures the impeccable surface finish and absolute formal purity required by Spatial Minimalist art.
Formal Rigor: The 16 cm depth defines the entire volume of the piece, from the wall to the furthest point of the appendix. This clean dimensional ratio is the foundation of its elegance.
The Context: The Legacy of Italian Spatialism
The diptych stands firmly in the tradition of the Italian Spatialist Movement (post-War), continuing the research initiated by masters like Lucio Fontana and Agostino Bonalumi. The work celebrates the gesture of extroflexion—the calculated breaking of the surface—transforming the panel into a volumetric space and projecting the form directly into the observer's environment.
The Emotional Core: The Metaphor of Suspended Desire
The diptych transforms the optical contrast into a profound psychological and affective narrative.
Tension of the Near Touch: The two modules are positioned to almost graze one another, with the extroflexed appendages extending towards each other but stopping at an infinitesimal distance. This distance crystallizes the moment of maximum TENSION and SUSPENDED DESIRE. This is the precise measure of the love, longing, or relationship that is impossible to fully realize.
Chromatic-Affective Duality: The dialectic between the BLACK module (mass, gravity, angular form) and the WHITE module (light, lightness, organic form) amplifies the drama. On the identical 16 cm depth, the Black absorbs the weight of the distance, while the White attempts to expand.
This is an artwork that demands attention, turning your wall into a stage for a geometric and emotional drama. Perfect for collectors of Minimalist Art and Luxury Design.
