Marmo tre 1996

Ettore Spalletti's "Marmo tre" presents three distinct panels that invite contemplation on color, surface, and the subtle interplay between them. Two panels are awash in a soft, muted blue, reminiscent of a serene sky or distant horizon, while the third panel anchors the composition with a stark, glossy black. Spalletti's choice of color is not arbitrary; it's a deliberate engagement with the emotional and psychological weight of these shades. The hazy blue panels evoke openness and tranquility, whereas the black panel introduces a sense of depth and contrast. Spalletti engages with minimalist aesthetics, reducing form to its essence. The panels, set adjacently, create a sequence that prompts the viewer to consider relationships between them. The texture of the blue panels suggests a tactile quality. Spalletti challenges us to perceive not just what we see but how we see, through the lens of color and material. The glossy black panel reflects the space around it, absorbing and transforming the viewer's perspective. "Marmo tre" invites us to explore art as a sensory and intellectual experience.
