Description:

This silkscreen by Mimmo Rotella stands out for its aesthetic that blends image, layering and visual dissolution. The work portrays a reclining female figure, wrapped in an atmosphere of luxury and seduction, with feathers, fabrics and textures that emphasize the sensuality of the scene. However, the image appears filtered, scratched or partially erased, an effect typical of Rotella's style that recalls décollage and his interest in the deterioration of images in contemporary visual culture.

The effect of dissolution and alteration of the surface suggests the passage of time and the consumption of the image, as if it were an advertising poster torn from a city wall. This is a central element of Rotella's poetics, which sees the wear of images as a way to reveal new narratives.

This silkscreen is an example of Mimmo Rotella's ability to transform iconic images into works that reflect on the transience of beauty, visual memory and consumer culture. The material effect and the doubling of the image create an atmosphere between dream and reality, leaving the viewer with a sense of mystery and reflection on the fragility of the representation.
