Product Description

The boundary between the rationality of space and the mystery of nature dissolves in this captivating play of perceptions. Dated July 4, 1986, this matteo balistreri optical painting reveals an unexpected romantic soul behind its apparent and impeccable geometric coldness. The title itself, "Full Moon Through the Shutters," is the true key to understanding that overturns the entire composition: we are not faced with a mere exercise in Optical Art, but with the stylized and modernist re-enactment of a universal and intimate visual experience. The large disk of the full moon radiates its silent glow, cut and fragmented by the lines of a domestic shutter.

Balistreri's mastery explodes in the combined use of acrylic and oil, which allows him to achieve impeccable chromatic transitions. The green and blue bands gently curve towards the viewer thanks to meticulous chiaroscuro, deceiving the eye and returning the three-dimensional and tactile sensation of the wood or aluminum of the blinds. Including this painting in an interior design project means embracing a work with a dual nature: avant-garde and conceptual at first glance, deeply dreamlike and evocative once its inspiration is grasped. It is the perfect choice to give an intellectual and sophisticated character to any contemporary environment.
