One-color etching on a 5-color silk-screen background on Japanese paper - Signed by the artist on the front // Scudo 3 by Mimmo Paladino, a 1999 mixed media print, is a striking circular composition that blends geometric abstraction with a single delicate etching of a human face. The background consists of bold, vibrant shapes in red, green, blue, yellow, and black, arranged in a seemingly random yet balanced pattern that evokes symbols or abstract codes. In contrast, the face, etched in fine lines at the center, adds a human element to the otherwise structured and abstract design, creating a contrast between the organic and the geometric. The use of Japanese paper enhances the tactile quality of the print. Paladino’s work is often associated with the Transavanguardia movement, where he blends modern abstraction with elements of ancient and symbolic forms, and this piece exemplifies his ability to harmonize disparate visual elements.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
