Detailed description
Picture "For Fun a Place to Play", framed
A place to play, protected from anything that could dampen the joy of play. Who doesn't wish for that? This cheerful work by Ugo Nespolo shows how he imagines such a refuge. A white house with sky-blue doors and a lookout tower on top of which a flag flutters merrily in the wind, a huge garden with mighty trees, surrounded by a brightly painted fence that keeps prying eyes away. The black bird of fate avoids such islands of happiness. It flies on and settles somewhere else.
Photolithograph in eight colours, signed by the artist. Limited edition 5,000, only a few copies available. Sheet size approx. 28 x 21 cm (h/w). In solid wood frame with passe-partout, glazed. Size 45 x 36 cm (h/w).
About Ugo Nespolo
"No Futurism, no Dadaism, only Nespolodian, please," the painter Ugo Nespolo, born in Mosso Santa Maria, Italy, in 1941, demands with a twinkle in his eye. One could say that his life and work resemble a game, but a game with depth. The works of Nespolo, who belongs to the international elite of modern art, do not need long explanations and comments. "Art is not the better existence. It is an alternative existence. Nor is it an attempt to escape reality. On the contrary, it is an attempt to breathe life into existence."
Nespolo's work is characterised by a confident style, a joy in clear and bright colours and freedom of execution. No wonder that his paintings, which radiate joie de vivre, are so much in demand and are rewarded on the art market with continually rising prices.
The artist lives and works in Turin.
