In the early seventies, Schifano began transferring television screens on canvases. By doing so, Schifano took out the scene from its original narrative sequence and its context. He changed the image even more, by processing it at the computer, transferring it in the digital photo silkscreen technique on canvas, covered with emulsion, and painting it with acrylic paint. The present work is titled ‘Naturale televisivo’ [Television Landscape] and depicts a view of an open landscape with trees and meadows. The upper and lower right features the logos of the TV station Rai Uno, the main Italian public television channel.

Mario Schifano (1934-1998)

Mario Schifano was born in Libya in 1934. His first works were monochromatic images in which the artist later introduced emblems of popular culture such as billboards, road signs and Coca Cola logos. In 1962, he travelled to the US, where he met artists such as Frank O'Hara, Jasper Johns, Rothko and Warhol. In the same year he participated in the legendary exhibition ‘International Exhibition of the New Realists’ in the Gallery of Sidney Janis alongside iconic American pop artists. Back in Italy, he regularly exhibited his work in Rome, Paris and Milan. In 1964 and 1978, he participated in the Venice Biennale. In addition, Schifano worked as a filmmaker since the mid-1960s, made music and periodically turned away from painting. From the 1970s, he primarily worked with television images, which he mounted on canvas and reworked with color. These motifs were recurring in the artist’s work until the late 1990s. In addition, Schifano created an extensive oeuvre of prints.
