Matteo Negri — Mappa (Diptych)
Matteo Negri

Mappa (Diptych)

Matteo Negri's *Mappa (Diptych)* presents two cast iron panels united by a luminous surface of enamel, merging the industrial weight of the material with the delicate, glass-like quality of its finish. The diptych format invites a reading across both panels, suggesting fragmented cartographies or abstract territories mapped onto the rigid, unyielding substrate. The interplay between the raw solidity of cast iron and the smooth, vitreous enamel creates a tension between permanence and fragility.
