Bassa marea

by Michele Leonardi, 1992

“Bassa marea”, 80x50x18 cm. del 1992, figura una conchiglia immaginaria posata sull’arenile – scoperta appunto dalla bassa marea -, con segni e colori che simboleggiano l’acqua del mare e le tracce lasciate dagli animaletti che si muovono sulle rocce e sulla sabbia.

"Basse marée", 80x50x18 cm., année 1992, représente une coquille imaginaire reposant sur la plage - découverte justement pendant la basse marée - avec des signes et des couleurs qui symbolisent l'eau de mer et les traces laissées par les petits animaux qui bougent sur les rochers et sur le sable.

"Low Tide", 32x20x7 inches, year 1992, represents an imaginary shell on the beach - descovered during the low tide, indeed - with signs and colors that symbolize the seawater and the traces left by the little animals which move upon the rocks and the sand.
