Oceania: The five continents, 1996 - Carborundum etching with drypoint aquatint screenprint and xylography. - Paper Diameter: 155 cm - Image Diameter: 139 cm - Bibliography: E. Di Martino, Mimmo Paladino Opera Grafica 1974-2001, Gli Ori, Pistoia 2015 // Mimmo Paladino's Oceania (1996) is a striking mixed-media work combining carborundum etching, drypoint aquatint, screenprint, and xylography. It features a central, abstract human figure with minimal facial detail, set against a deep blue circular background. The figure appears ghostly, with a prominent area of darker shading in the chest, possibly symbolizing an emotional or spiritual depth. Geometric shapes and dark silhouettes surround the figure, evoking a sense of mystery and isolation. The use of mixed techniques adds texture and depth to the artwork, reflecting Paladino's interest in primal human forms and existential themes.

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.
