About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Alfredo Rapetti Mogol is one of the leading figures on the current Italian art scene, the son of the celebrated lyricist Mogol, and he blends his sensibility as a lyricist with painting.
Rapetti Mogol's art—Sign Abstraction / Visual Writing—is based on graphic signs: his works resemble "written pages" where words become scratches, grooves, or traces; often the words are not clearly legible, but they evoke a sense of prayer, a diary, or a musical score. Being a mixed media on canvas, the work plays heavily on thickness.
Rapetti Mogol often uses stucco, gesso, or layers of color (such as gold in the "Gold" series), which he then inscribes with a nib or a point, almost "digging" into the canvas.
Alfredo Rapetti Mogol's "Gold" is characterized by bold horizontal bands of color—turquoise, red, beige, and gold—applied with a thick, textured texture. The surface is crisscrossed by a dense pattern of signs reminiscent of cursive writing.
A powerful work like "Gold" fits perfectly into an industrial-chic setting, creating a sophisticated dialogue between contemporary art and interior design. It plays on the contrast of colors and materials, filling the space physically, chromatically, and materially, and tying together all the furnishings.
