Inspired by the "Carrettini Siciliani" (sicilian carts) of my fathers home on the Island of Sicily, this is a unique work as it has evolved into a playful array of color and light. Starting out as a true fresco in 4 sections, it then underwent the transfer process onto linen called Calicot or "a strappo". Restoration work was done as well as a metamorphosis of the cart, adding color via the secco technique (pigment and a binder.)
The result is truly unique and very textural. A rare combination of fine Italian moulding in pewter, greens and golds, complement the work beautifully. 36"x45" unframed, approx. 48"x57" framed as shown above.
