Cnidaria Scyphozoa 2023
Cnidaria Scyphozoa, the scientific name for jellyfish, is a series that flirts with biological labeling techniques, freezing the fluidity of jellyfish tentacles in abstract moments, transforming simple shapes into complex structures. Scientific methodology guides the capture of nature immortalized in a small observational universe.
Within a dome, the paper-cut artwork rests on entomological pins over plaster plates. The viewer’s gaze is captured by the organic and abstract complexity that unfolds. A soft, subtle monochromaticism creates a serene, contemplative atmosphere.
The artist’s interest in aquatic beings marks a return to his artistic beginnings. Scaling down his language, Giuliano Martinuzzo showcases the delicacy of his work. In his creation, paper becomes the protagonist. Cut with a scalpel, the material forms organic paths that invite imagination, allowing the observer to interpret a world that exists only in the mind.
