Description
“15Twenty” – Il Scimmia – 2025
Technique: Acrylic on canvas
Artist: Il Scimmia
Material: Canvas stretched on wooden frame
15Twenty revolves around the fragile line between friend and foe – the paradox of clarity that in hindsight appears inevitable, yet in the moment leaves us paralyzed by doubt. The work explores whether it is our chronic optimism, our instinct to gamble, or our fear of disappointing another human being that drives us into uncertain choices. In the end, the positive outcomes outweigh the negative – though never without a cost.
The title 15Twenty serves as a reminder that loyalty and betrayal have always walked hand in hand throughout human history.
