This abstract artwork features a minimalist, monochromatic design. The dominant element is a simplified, ghostly silhouette of a figure, rendered in thick, black outlines against a neutral, beige background. The composition is striking in its simplicity, with the lone figure appearing as a fragmented, almost amorphous shape. The artist's use of negative space and stark contrast creates a sense of mystery and introspection, inviting the viewer to ponder the abstract representation of the human form.

Adelaide Cioni studied drawing at UCLA, Los Angeles, and has a BA in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. With an MA in contemporary history and a master’s degree in Literary Translation, for ten years she translated American literature (John Cheever, Lydia Davis, David Foster Wallace, amongst others). In 2012 she finished the translation of Cheever’s journals and decided to quit translating literature, thereby she started her artistic practice.
Her work moves at the intersection of textile, painting, and performance. The constant elements at the core of her practice are drawing, an absence of narration and a feminist viewpoint. Over the past year she has been connecting her work to music and dance, in a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach.
She lives and works between Spoleto (IT) and London. ...
The name P420 is inspired by Pantone 420, a universally recognized shade of grey known for its ability to serve as the perfect background, enhancing whatever it accompanies. P420 thus emerges as a platform whose primary aim is to embrace and elevate artistic ideas and expressions, fostering their harmonious coexistence within a context that supports, encourages, and celebrates diversity and innovation. Here, every voice can resonate powerfully and distinctly, much like a work of art standing out against the backdrop of Pantone 420.
P420 has been instrumental in the rediscovery of artists such as Irma Blank, Laura Grisi, Ana Lupas, and Stephen Rosenthal, collaborating directly with the artists or, when necessary, with their heirs or the Estates representing them. Through exhibitions, off-site projects, fairs, and a strong online presence, the gallery also supports the evolving narratives of contemporary art, initiating and supporting the journey of many young emerging talents like Victor Fotso Nyie, Francis Offman, and Shafei Xia. ...
