Stitched in Oil — paint that reads like thread
Ian Bertolucci works in a technique of his own — STITCHED IN OIL — oil paint built up stroke by stroke until the surface reads like embroidery, every line a thread, every form a stitch. His earlier works brought that texture to abstraction; his Pokémon starter triptych — FIRST FLAME, BLUE TIDE, WILD BLOOM — brought it to the most famous decision in gaming.
Where much of the ArtMX roster reinterprets pop culture, Bertolucci's work stands apart for its surface: abstraction with a pulse, built for collectors drawn to color and texture over reference.
