About this work
Overview

Subject & Meaning
The print features a dark, irregular oval on a bright green background, containing faint, indistinct lines and marks. The oval's uneven edges and textured appearance contribute to its handmade quality.
Technique & Style
Fontana employed an unconventional printmaking method, using pressure or cutting to create dark areas without ink, resulting in a tactile, textured effect. This approach reflects his experimental approach to art and Spatialism's focus on spatial concepts.
