In this work, entitled “L’aquilone dal lungo volo” 1965, Gastone Novelli creates a suspended space, where shapes and colours seem to elude any precise definition. Nothing appears definitively complete.
The surface of the canvas thus becomes a place of freedom, where the painting does not describe but suggests. Subtle shades interact with more intense accents, whilst light lines guide the eye in a continuous movement, just like the long flight evoked by the title.
The work bears witness to Novelli’s interest in an essential language, capable of evoking images and sensations without ever describing them directly.
