Mimmo Paladino
Two linocuts
188 x 58 (both) cm

The works in the Atlantico series have all the authenticity that a typical work of Mimmo Paladino has, references to antique artistic traditions, and iconography with a unique modernist interpretation. This style is usually known by the name Italian Transavantgarde or Italian Neo-Expressionism, which is a movement founded in the 1970s led by Mimmo Paladino.

In these works, Paladino deconstructs his style and symbols into a sequence of dream-like scenes. The dark elegance in the Atlantico series makes these works even more unique and recognizable. The other works from the series can be found in prestigious art institutes in the world, such as TATE and MoMA.
