// Fósforo by Jorge Macchi is a limited edition lithograph from 2010, created in an edition of 50 plus artist’s proofs (BAT). The artwork features a single, oversized matchstick with a slightly burned tip, rendered in a minimalist, realistic style against a plain white background. The match is adorned with a small green label at its midpoint, adding a touch of color to the otherwise subdued palette. This simple yet evocative image draws attention to the delicate balance between potential and action, as the match appears both unused and on the verge of ignition. Macchi’s focus on everyday objects imbues them with a sense of contemplation, inviting viewers to consider themes of fragility, impermanence, and latent energy within mundane items.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
