82 - SAMORI NICOLA (b. 1977) IL COMANDO. 2002. Mixed media and collage on canvas. 155 x 145 cm. On the back: signature, title, and date. The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the artist on a photograph.PROVENANCE: Private collection, Bologna. In 2002, Nicola Samorì was already developing an artistic approach aimed at restoring a physical presence to painting, through images that do not arise from a predetermined form but are composed of fragments, additions, scraps, and omissions. In “Il comando,” the horse emerges from the material without coalescing into a fully stable figure, suspended between appearance and dissolution, while the surface retains traces of the process that generated it. The animal subject also takes on significance in relation to the title, which suggests a tension between energy and control, but the focus of the work remains the image’s ability to lose its completeness without losing its presence.
