Marcello Arletti, MickeyStar, acrylic on aluminum, 50x50 cm

Unique work by Marcello Arletti: painted on laminated metal built by superimposing a series of glazes with transparent pigments on polished aluminum mounted on board. The idea of seeing the color in transparency, thanks to the light ray mirrored by the metal placed behind the pigment, amplifies its visibility and chromatic liveliness.

More than the value of the details Marcello Arletti is interested in the whole figure, he prefers to build the image while maintaining freshness by superimposing spots, halos and veils of transparent pigment, using the sotrattiva synthesis, on the ambient light reflected by aluminum.

The artist portrays here the Mickey Mouse, timeless icon of Disney and symbol of the pop movement.

 Unique artwork signed on the back.
