The artwork titled “Asfalto, Bologna” was created by Franco Fontana in the year 1985. This piece falls within the photo genre and captures a unique moment in the urban environment of Bologna.
The artwork features a segment of asphalt, highlighted by distinct geometric elements. A bright yellow square is painted onto the road surface, juxtaposed with a green square containing a single black dot at its center. The green square is slightly raised, appearing to cover a portion of the road. The texture of the asphalt is evident, with various imprints and cracks visible, contributing to the raw and atmospheric quality of the photograph. Shadows are cast unevenly across the surface, adding depth and a dynamic contrast to the composition, which encapsulates the interplay between man-made markings and the natural wear of the urban landscape.
