Item Overview

Description

Guido Molinari 1933 - 2004 Canadian mixed media collage on board Untitled 23 1/2 x 21 inches 59.7 x 53.3 centimeters on verso signed and dated 04/99 Provenance:Moore Gallery Ltd., Toronto Private Collection, Vancouver This work appears to be an evolution from Guido Molinari's earlier stripe paintings. In a reference to these striped paintings, whose hard edges were attained through the use of masking tape, Molinari, in this work, has painted on strips of the masking tape itself. However, rather than being hard-edge, the painting consists of modulated sequences of repeated, vertical broken stripes that push to the front of the picture plane over soft patches of colour in the background, creating dimensionality. Molinari explained his compositional intention, stating, "What I call the structure of the painting is the synthesis of the energies of duration and chromatic. That is what will allow the emergence of a new spatial reality."
