Edoardo Menini - Abstract Textile Composition, 1955 - Mixed Technique On Canvas

Rare work by Edoardo Menini, dated 1955, part of a plastic research at the crossroads of painting and textile assemblage.

This minimalist composition is distinguished by the use of raw canvas fragments and textile materials applied to support, creating a subtle interplay between surfaces, textures and nuances. Two large zones interact: a dark, dense and worked part, contrasting with a light canvas left almost in its raw state, with deliberately irregular edges.

The ensemble reveals an aesthetic close to the experiments of post-war European abstraction, where matter becomes a subject in its own right. Traces, wear and tear and chromatic variations testify to a sensitive work on time and surface.

The artist's signature is his work in the field.

A singular work, with a strong presence, evoking both emerging arte povera and certain informal research of the same period.
