Meloniski da Villacidro, Little concert, retouchè, 72x72 cm

This unique work by Meloniski depicts a seascape during a concert. We see the scene divided in two horizontally: the sea and the sky.

At the bottom, coloured fish rise up from the water, carrying on their shoulders the artist's typical slender figures. They are playing various musical instruments, a flute, a double bass and a saxophone.

In the background, on the right, on a green island, stands an illuminated lighthouse to which is tied a rope holding four moons. They are released into the air and form the upper part of the painting. Standing on each moon, there are four other figures who are contributing to the ongoing concert by playing other instruments.

Again, the atmosphere is dreamy, enhanced by the light inserts that make the figures glow. The figures are totally connected both with nature and with each other and thus manage to live in peace and tranquillity in this fairytale world.

The work is signed at the bottom right and stamped at the bottom left.
