Etching, Aquatint, collage with gold leaf - Published by Galerie Klüser & Edition Schellmann - Signed and numbered on recto - Plate size: 47 X 66 cm. - Sheet size: 60 X 80 cm.

Francesco Clemente's Reconciliazione is a limited edition mixed media print created in 1986, combining etching, aquatint, and collage with gold leaf. The composition features a large human figure, crouched in a fetal-like position against a rich, deep blue background. The figure is outlined with intricate details, filled with abstract and symbolic imagery within the body, while small areas of gold leaf punctuate the composition, adding an ethereal quality. The use of gold leaf contrasts against the dark tones, symbolizing moments of enlightenment or spiritual significance. This piece reflects Clemente's exploration of inner reflection, human vulnerability, and the complexity of reconciliation, both personal and universal.

Francesco Clemente (Italy, 1952) is a leading contemporary artist associated with the Transavanguardia movement. His works, characterized by vivid colors and dreamlike imagery, explore themes of identity, spirituality, and the human experience. Drawing from diverse influences, including Indian mysticism and Italian fresco traditions, Clemente’s art is celebrated worldwide.

My goal is to collect images and references from these traditions and connect them with the emotions from the present-day, and common experiences.
