Description:

The female figure, with its delicate but expressive pose, recalls a cinematic image or an icon of the pop culture of the time, elements often present in Rotella's work. The artist was fascinated by the deities of the screen, such as Hollywood actresses and Italian film stars, and loved to reinterpret them through his unique visual language.

In addition, the image appears grainy and corroded, as if it were a fragment of a memory or an old advertising print destined to deteriorate over time. Rotella often explored the concept of ephemeral images, capturing the passage of visual culture into modern society
This silkscreen by Mimmo Rotella is an example of his way of exploring time, memory and visual culture through the manipulation of images. The effect of deterioration and dissolution leads the viewer to question the meaning of images in modern society and their fate in the incessant flow of visual communication.
