Signed and dated at the bottom right // Mimmo Paladino's Necropolis (1984) is an etching that delves into themes of mortality and memory. The print is filled with shadowy figures and fragmented architectural elements, creating a surreal, dreamlike environment. Human figures are sketched minimally, with one in the foreground seemingly reclining or sinking into the shadowed space, while others appear faintly in the background, etched into walls or forms. The title Necropolis—meaning city of the dead—suggests an exploration of the passage between life and death, with the figures possibly representing souls or memories. Paladino’s use of soft lines and abstract forms imbues the work with a haunting, contemplative quality.

What is Transvanguardia ?
Transavanguardia is the Italian version of Neo-Expressionism, referring to an art movement that emerged in Italy and other parts of Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. The term translates to beyond the avant-garde. Transavanguardia arose as a reaction against the dominance of conceptual art, reintroducing emotion and reviving painting as a primary medium. The movement marked a return to mythic imagery and figurative art, celebrating a rediscovery of traditional forms and themes in a contemporary context.
