About this work
Overview
Reticulation, a 2013 print by Colli, presents five silvery, profile‑oriented forms that evoke the heads of flowers. Executed on a white field, the composition is signed and numbered by the artist, indicating its place within a limited edition.
Subject & Meaning
The ambiguous silhouettes, rendered in muted gray, suggest organic entities—perhaps flora, fauna, or human figures—yet their indistinct outlines resist a definitive reading, inviting viewers to project their own associations onto the forms.
Technique & Style
Colli employs a loose, sketch‑like approach, using soft, diffused blobs rather than precise lines. The edges of each shape dissolve into the background, creating a sense of fleeting gesture and emphasizing the immediacy of the mark‑making process.
History & Provenance
Created in 2013, the work is part of a numbered series, each print bearing the artist’s signature. Its provenance traces back to the artist’s studio, with subsequent inclusion in private collections and occasional exhibition in institutions focusing on contemporary printmaking.
Context
The piece aligns with contemporary explorations of abstraction that blur the boundaries between representation and gesture. Its minimal palette and ethereal forms reflect broader trends in print media that prioritize process and the tactile qualities of ink on paper.
