Indoor tile EURIDICE : TELA

wallfloorporcelain stoneware

The sign in all its essence. Raw canvas. Author: Giorgio Griffa The mystery and poetry of painting. Art that inhabits space. The distinctive traits of the “Euridice” collection, in their apparent simplicity, embody an extraordinary and bar-setting complexity stemming from the history of painting, even including the memory of the gesture taught by the Paleolithics. If it is true that “the past is not a father to be killed but a mother from whom to draw nourishment”, the poetry of this series of elegant ceramics proposes a sublime use of porcelain stoneware which, assimilated to a rough canvas, defines a work that is at the same time partial and infinite. «In the past, art was expected to transfer the object, or work of art, from the inanimate to the animate world. Now, since we know that the whole world is animate, the task of the artist is to interact with the intelligence of matter.» Giorgio Griffa
