Diramazioni Sospese

I sign Diramazioni Sospese wallpaper as one signs a balance that lasts: a slightly off-centre trunk rises the whole height of the composition and branches into arms that fork and fork again outwards, carrying, at several levels, flat blades of differing width and length, each one tilted at its own angle, as though the whole structure had been caught halfway through a swing.

I belong to Kinetic Art, and I carry its purest grammar: flat, clean-edged shapes, without gradation or painterly texture, thin and exact rods that link every pivot to the one before and the one after. The matt black of the rods crosses a warm field of brass and ochre, dusty brick and chalk white, while a single slate blue blade returns, rarely, as a chromatic counterweight. At the centre of the composition the arms thicken, the blades gather at mid height, then thin out upwards and downwards, letting the design breathe at the margins.

Seen close up, the wallpaper reveals small pivot discs at every junction, fine parallel hatching that suggests the thickness of the blades, doubled outlines slightly offset that imitate the tremor of movement without ever resorting to a real shadow. It is a design that does not repeat, made to stay still on a wall and to go on moving in the eyes of whoever looks at it. At WallZad we translate it with the care that every balance deserves: solid materials, printing that respects every fine margin, a surface made to last as long as the equilibrium it tells.
