The artwork entitled “Silea” is a remarkable sculpture by artist Lino Tagliapietra, known for his contributions to the Op Art movement. The sculpture exemplifies the innovative and visually engaging qualities characteristic of this movement.
The artwork features a teardrop-shaped glass sculpture, skillfully crafted to exhibit a harmonious blend of colors and textures. Dominated by warm amber hues, the sculpture flows gracefully towards its pointed tip. Within the amber shell, a mesmerizing pattern of veined lines intersperses, adding depth and a sense of organic motion. Central to the piece is a vibrant, almost translucent segment of blue, appearing similar to the interplay of light on the surface of water. This central blue area anchors the sculpture and contrasts strikingly with the surrounding amber, creating a captivating visual dialogue. The overall aesthetic of the piece is both fluid and dynamic, drawing the viewer into a contemplative exploration of form and color.
