MENTAL LANDSCAPES 153 - acrylic painting by Roberto Tagliazucchi

Paesaggio Mentale 153 is tension and imbalance, a fierce contrast between opposing forces fighting for dominance. The incandescent yellow devours the space, a sky that burns, a light that does not comfort but blinds. Black violently cuts through the horizon, a wound infiltrating the landscape, contaminating it, deforming it. Slanted, broken lines seem like traces of futile resistance, gestures of something collapsing under the weight of an overwhelming reality. Blue tries to break through, a breath in the midst of tension, but it is trapped, limited, suffocated. The scratched surfaces tell of a silent struggle, a repressed energy pushing to emerge.
