Wooden sculpture, painted · 70 cm · 2018
Arlecchino (2018) is a vibrant painted wooden sculpture by Francesco Ferrari. The torso is covered in a harlequin diamond pattern of red, yellow, blue, green and white, while the mask-like head remains in dark carved wood, one arm truncated at the shoulder.
The carnival colours and the missing arm radiate theatre, irony and commedia dell’arte. Ferrari turns this Harlequin into a joyful celebration of popular theatre and painted wood.
