Vision, elision, derision
A dynamic composition rendered in graphite and pastel across two joined sheets of paper, this work showcases Sandro Chia's signature blend of expressive figuration and mythic energy. Bold, gestural marks build richly layered forms that pulse with psychological tension, while the pastel's warm hues contrast against the raw immediacy of the graphite. The work's provocative title suggests a layered interplay of perception, omission, and mockery, inviting the viewer into Chia's characteristically theatrical and enigmatic visual world.
