524-A — Fine Art

Bice Lazzari made marks that look like signals on a blank field, a language of strokes tied to her late abstract practice. In 524-A - 1978 the paper holds mixed marks, some drawn and some painted, that sit apart rather than fill the sheet. You read the shapes before the meaning, which suits the quiet way she worked.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy.

On a bedroom wall beside a built in desk, the drawn lines stay soft under a lamp, and the darker patches keep a steady shape across the room. You notice the open space between the strokes more than the strokes themselves.
