Michelangelo Pistoletto — Frattali (green)
Michelangelo Pistoletto

Frattali (green)

A fragmented geometric composition in vivid green is painted directly onto a mirrored glass surface, creating a dynamic interplay between the painted forms and the reflective background. True to Pistoletto's signature approach, the mirror actively incorporates the viewer and surrounding environment into the work, making the piece shift and evolve with each perspective. The fractal patterning suggests themes of infinity and complexity, blurring the boundary between artwork and the real world it reflects.
