Esse Uno

n Esse Uno, the Motivi Infantili (Childhood Motifs) collection by Remoi explores the power of the alphabetical sign, transforming it into a vibrant visual icon charged with energy. In this composition, the artist continues his journey toward extreme simplification, where the letter is no longer just a phonetic element but becomes a plastic body floating in a pure and solar chromatic space.

The background of the work is a field of intense and uniform lemon yellow, radiating an almost electric luminosity typical of the brightness associated with childhood and discovery. Against this backdrop stands the protagonist figure: a large, sinuous "S," traced with a thick and irregular black line. As previously observed in P Quattro, Remoi uses a stroke that is never static; the black line is accompanied and overlaid by a filament of dense, almost sculptural white, which follows its curves, emphasizing its dynamism and depth.

The graphic sign of Esse Uno appears fluid, as if it had been traced in the air before landing on the canvas. The color knots at the ends and the overlaps of black and white strokes suggest the instinctiveness of the pictorial gesture, recalling the expressive freedom of the first approaches to writing. The work is a hymn to the joy of color and the power of the essential mark: a fragment of an emotional alphabet where every line tells the tension between the artist's control and the spontaneity of the "childhood motif."
