Volo (Flight) 1993

"Volo (Flight)" is a 1993 etching by Italian artist Giancarlo Tognoni (1932-2020). The artwork depicts an abstract interpretation of flight, possibly inspired by birds or other airborne creatures, using intricate lines and hatching to create a sense of movement and energy. Tognoni’s style often featured abstract interpretations of nature, drawing inspiration from organic forms. This minimalist approach, reminiscent of 20th-century abstract art, emphasizes the essence of flight through a dynamic composition of lines, shapes, and textures. The small size of the plate, 24.1 x 18.6 cm, makes this artwork intimate and invites close examination of the artist's skillful use of etching technique.
