Senza Titolo 2015

Zani Corrado made this untitled painting at an unknown date, using methods which show a clear love of process. The muted colors suggest a dreamlike quality, and you can almost feel the artist working and reworking the surface, pushing and pulling at the paint. The texture here is really interesting; it looks like Corrado has used a dry brush technique in some areas, creating these scratchy, broken lines. Then, in other parts, there's a smoother, almost creamy application of paint. Look at the way the dark browns and blacks swirl together in the center – it’s like a storm, or maybe a hidden figure emerging from the shadows. I’m particularly drawn to the lower right corner, where the white paint is dragged across the surface, creating a sense of movement and energy that pulls the whole piece together. This piece reminds me a bit of the work of Clyfford Still, in that it embraces ambiguity and multiple interpretations rather than fixed meanings. It's a great example of how painting can be an ongoing conversation.
