Tano Festa

Finestra (Window)

1985

A wooden panel painted with a trompe-l'oeil depiction of a window, rendered in Festa's characteristically bold and simplified style. The incorporation of real metal hinges blurs the boundary between representation and reality, transforming the artwork itself into a functional object. This interplay between illusion and materiality reflects Festa's engagement with everyday imagery and his connections to the Italian Pop Art movement of the 1960s.
