About the Item

Mixed media on wooden panels realized by Marisa Busanel in 1970s. Painted wood panel with applied sculptural dress element in lead or lead-like metal, polychrome surface with incised and painted ornamental motifs. This striking mixed-media work exemplifies Marisa Busanel’s distinctive engagement with memory, materiality, and the poetic resonance of everyday objects. A dark, weighted dress—rendered in a pliable, lead-like metal—hangs solemnly against a vertically constructed wooden support, itself painted in muted greens and earth tones and embellished with stylized, almost baroque scrollwork. The contrast between the softness implied by the garment and the heaviness of its material lends the composition a powerful sense of gravity and introspection. Busanel’s practice often explores themes of absence, identity, and the female condition, transforming familiar forms into evocative symbols. Here, the dress functions as a surrogate body—present yet uninhabited—suggesting memory, fragility, and the passage of time. The deliberately aged surface, with visible wear, oxidation, and patina, reinforces the work’s tactile and emotional depth, situating it between sculpture, painting, and object. Executed with a strong sense of formal balance and material tension, this work stands as a compelling example of Busanel’s mature production, where artisanal tradition and contemporary sensibility converge. Condition: Overall very good condition, with wear, oxidation, and surface irregularities consistent with the artist’s materials and intent.
