Usato mutanda

With Usato (Mutanda) (Used / Underwear), Remoi’s Destruct Construct collection reaches a level of startling provocation and intimacy. The work doesn't stop at recycling industrial or artistic materials; it inserts an extremely personal everyday object — a pair of underwear — elevating it to an artistic artifact through the solidification of color.

Usato (Mutanda) vibrates with a raw, almost carnal energy. The background is dominated by a visceral, textural red, over which splashes of white and smoky gray explode at the top, creating an almost atmospheric effect, like clouds over burning ground. A black and white "One Line" snakes in the bottom left, giving rhythm to the composition.

The centerpiece is the black mass in the middle: it is not just paint, but a pair of underwear embedded directly into the canvas. The garment has been "frozen" in its movement by a drip of acid yellow running through it vertically, turning an intimate object into a two-dimensional sculpture. In the upper right, a red paintbrush stained with paint is left stuck in the frame, as if witnessing an interrupted creative act or an artistic construction site still in progress. The mirrored steel frame reflects the surrounding environment, creating a sharp contrast between the metal's clarity and the organic brutality of the content.
