Modulazione spaziale 1950

Galliano Mazzon's "Modulazione spaziale" is a painting that utilizes basic colours and forms. Note the interplay of angular black shapes against the muted background. The abstract forms can be traced back to ancient symbols that were meant to evoke elemental forces and the balance of the cosmos. The linear forms are reminiscent of labyrinths, a symbol that goes as far back as the Bronze Age in many different cultures. The labyrinth represents the complexities of life and the journey of the soul. The symbolic labyrinth has been present from ancient Greece to indigenous cultures. The simple shapes invite us to explore our subconscious depths through shapes and colour. The artwork becomes a stage where basic forms trigger primordial memories and emotions. As we contemplate "Modulazione spaziale", let us appreciate the power of these symbols, how these motifs echo through time, and how the human spirit has always sought to express itself using signs that have been passed on through history.
