The Sun 24 Orate

An oil painting depicting a fish wrapped in sheets of newspaper and tied with twine, leaving only the head and tail exposed. The oil medium emphasizes details and textures, creating a strong contrast between the living flesh of the fish and the rigidity of the printed paper, with a realistic yet symbolic effect.

The work was conceived for a group exhibition staged in a venue in Turin, as a direct and immediate intervention. The choice of oil technique and of everyday materials depicted with precision allows the work to engage with the urban space and with the audience, inviting a simple yet incisive reflection.
