The One Line Collection

The One Line Collection by Remoi is an artistic and emotional journey comprising 15 unique works, where the simplicity of a continuous line merges with the complexity of matter and industrial design. This series does not limit itself to the canvas; it invades physical space through three-dimensional installations and frames that become an integral part of the narrative.

Collection Structure and Themes

The collection is organized into several narrative phases, exploring the essence of humanity and its connection with the world:

1. Conceptual Minimalism

Opening works such as Punto (Dot) and Striscia (Strip) lay the foundation for the series. Here, black and white dominate the scene, exploring spatial tension and the purification of the mark.

2. The Sensory Trilogy

A central core investigating human perception:

• Osserva (Observe): The eye peering out from a textural darkness.

• Ascolta (Listen): The ethereal lightness of a profile contrasted with the physical presence of iron ears.

• Parla (Speak): The urgency of the voice represented by a yellow lightning bolt.

3. The World (Cosmic) Trilogy

A cycle dedicated to the relationship between humanity and the universe, characterized by a freer style and the use of celestial elements in golden metal:

• Madre Terra (Mother Earth - The Sun): Stewardship and vital light.

• Ballando col Mondo (Dancing with the World - The Moon): The harmony of nocturnal rhythms.

• Giocando col Mondo (Playing with the World - The Star): Creative freedom and spiritual guidance.

4. Humanity, Time, and Intellect

Works addressing the complexity of modern living:

• Cervello (Brain): The struggle between logic and creativity.

• Fatica (Toil): A celebration of manual labor featuring a frame made of real tools.

• Tic Tac: Art becomes functional, marking the relentless passage of time.

• Aurora: A bridge between Greek archaeology and modern abstraction.

5. The Spiritual and Emotional Dimension

The journey concludes with deep reflections on the soul:

• Amore (Love): Vulnerability protected by a metal grid and brass padlocks.

• INRI: The pinnacle of sacrifice, wrapped in barbed wire over a tar-black abyss.

• Glu Glu: (The work celebrating wine) The elegance of pleasure and conviviality.

Distinctive Features

• The Mark: A line that never breaks—a symbol of continuity and vital flow.

• The Matter: Oxidized iron, brushed steel, barbed wire, padlocks, and mechanical tools that give weight and reality to abstraction.

• The Color: A bold palette where primary colors (red, yellow, blue) break the eternal dialogue between black and white.

In summary, the One Line Collection is a visual mapping of the human experience: from the birth of thought to the toil of labor, from the joy of play to the mystery of the sacred.
