Letizia Ardillo- Il Libro cosmico
Collage, Symbol / Letter, 22x40x01cm
Letizia Ardillo - Abecedarian Gallery - dba Abecedarian Artists Books
This beauty by Italian artist Letizia Ardillo will also be in The Printed Page III, opening February 20 at University of Denver Libraries - on view through June 10.
Intaglio, printing on zinc plate with interventions in collage with gold leaf, silver and pages of ancient books on paper. The cover was made with handmade painted paper.
Five prints represent the cosmos with circular dynamism in the early stages of creation. The sequence starts from a simple form, a ring, and develops into more complex circular structures. Each sphere is a firmament, a world that describes the vertigo of a vastly expanding cosmic space. The scratched tracks constitute the writing of the book of the world. The chromatic contrast between the white-light and black darkness, which characterizes the very construction of the book, creates a game of references, actions and pauses, full and empty, getting lost to find each other again.
The expression discovering what is hidden guides us in this story.
