Bersaglio 2007

Enzo Cucchi’s *Bersaglio* (2007) is a small-scale painting that depicts a nude male figure falling from a frame, with a large, prominent ear dominating the right side. The artist's unique and expressionistic style is evident in the bold brushstrokes, vibrant color palette, and simplified forms, creating a powerful visual impact. The painting's title, which translates to "target," suggests a sense of vulnerability and the fragility of human life. Cucchi, known for his exploration of themes of memory, identity, and the body, invites viewers to interpret the symbolism of the falling figure and the oversized ear, exploring the complexities of human perception and experience.
