The volume offers a historical-critical study on the entire career of Marco

Tirelli (Rome,1956). His production - surprising and enigmatic - includes works on paper, works on canvas or wood, sculptures, installations, whose subjects always appear poised between recognisability and abstraction: the figures and scenes represented are made up of a densification of microscopic particles of colours that from a distance seem well-defined, but which, when viewed from a short distance, break down.

A subtle, intellectual painting, therefore, the result of an introspective investigation carried out with dedication. The same tension between illusion and reality, between light and shadow, also characterises the sculptures and installations, as documented in these pages.

The volume includes a historical-critical essay by Antonella Soldaini, a conversation with the artist, a biographical note and a documentary summary.

本书对马尔科·蒂雷利（Marco Tirelli ，1956年生于罗马）的整个职业生涯进行了历史批判研究。他的作品令人惊讶、神秘莫测，包括纸上作品、画布或木头作品、雕塑、装置，其主题总是在具象和抽象之间徘徊：所代表的人物和场景是由色彩的微观颗粒密集而成，从远处看似乎很清晰，但从近处看，就是分散的。

因此，这是一幅微妙的、有智慧的绘画，是用心进行的内省调查的结果。幻觉与现实、光与影之间同样的紧张关系也是雕塑和装置的特点，正如这些页面中所记录的。

本书包括安东尼娜·索尔达尼（Antonella Soldaini）的历史批评文章，与艺术家的对话，传记和文献摘要。
