Edition of 99. Very good condition. A striking and meticulously constructed composition, this work exemplifies Enrico Benaglia’s refined graphic language, poised between surrealist imagination and hyper-modern sensibility. Set within a circular, spotlight-like field, the image assembles an unexpected constellation of elements: a cluster of luminous lemons with deep green leaves, a blue patterned fragment reminiscent of a decorative textile or porcelain, and complex mechanical components that evoke industrial design and precision engineering. The intense chromatic contrasts—warm yellows and ochres against shadowed blacks—give the scene a cinematic depth, while the juxtaposition of organic and technological motifs creates a poetic tension between nature and machine. Benaglia’s layered treatment of texture and transparency suggests a sophisticated printmaking process, enhancing the impression of a fragmented reality suspended in time.
