“Furniture,” a 1983 artwork by Francesco Clemente, is a notable example of the Transavantgarde movement and belongs to the figurative genre. The artwork captures the viewer’s attention with its vivid and contrasting colors, characteristic of Clemente’s distinctive style.
The focal point of the artwork features a dark, human-like figure with piercing yellow eyes, prominently depicted in the center. Surrounding this figure are elements that resemble organic forms, possibly petals, radiating outward from the head. The background is animated with energetic hues of green, yellow, and red, contributing to an abstract and surreal atmosphere. The composition exhibits Clemente’s signature approach of combining figurative depiction with abstract expression, creating a piece that is both compelling and enigmatic.
