Catalogue Note
Sandro Chia opera su un ventaglio di stili diversi tra loro; nel caso specifico si tratta di un'opera eseguita come un disegno tramite l'uso di pastelli a cera, di dimensioni degne di un affresco. L'uso di questa tecnica evidenzia la centralità del soggetto, oltre alla sua drammaticità di origine mitologica. L'utilizzo circolare e graffiante del pastello sullo sfondo della composizione ne evidenziano l'equilibrio e soprattutto la forza, tema principale dell'opera. L'importanza dell'opera è sottolineata dalla data di esecuzione, ovvero la metà degli anni ottanta, fase focale e di grandissima creatività del percorso artistico di Chia.
