These techniques are central to the Italian abstract art movement, showcasing the artist’s skill and innovation.

🔎 Provenance Story

We came across this evocative piece on an unexpectedly grey afternoon in Sussex — the kind where the past feels thick in the air and time has a way of slipping sideways. I was visiting a retired editor, a known figure in post-war literary circles, who had quietly built a remarkable private collection over the decades. His flat, tucked discreetly behind the Brighton Museum, was a world unto itself: floor-to-ceiling shelves of dog-eared manuscripts, Brutalist ceramics scattered between first editions, and a quiet reverence for mid-century art and design that was impossible to miss.

The painting hung above a walnut writing desk, its saturated tones of burnt orange and inky black cutting through the dim winter light like punctuation in an unfinished sentence. It was immediately magnetic — not just for its palette, but for its palpable energy. There was something bold and introspective at once in the way the colours danced and collided — the push and pull of post-war optimism tempered by existential depth. It was unmistakably Italian, unmistakably 1960s.

When I asked about it, the editor smiled — wistful, proud. “Un regalo,” he said. A gift.

It had been presented to him by the artist himself in the late 1960s, a gesture of gratitude for championing a young voice before the art world had fully caught on. A dedication in soft graphite lingers in the lower corner, still visible beneath the strokes — a quiet personal note immortalised in paint and paper. These were different times — a moment when editors and artists often moved in lockstep, co-conspirators in the cultural reawakening of a new Europe.

The artist, though never widely known outside Italy, was part of the informal Milanese school — influenced by Arte Informale, but with a distinct lyrical abstraction all his own. You see it in the composition’s fluid geometry, the tension in the brushstrokes, and the use of colour as both emotion and architecture. It’s an artwork that doesn’t just decorate a space — it inhabits it. There’s creative dialogue in its DNA.

We acquired it directly from that editor, with his blessing and a handshake. He told us he was finally ready to part with it — not because its meaning had dimmed, but because he believed “the right person” would feel the same resonance he did when he received it all those years ago.

Works amazingly, but only if you install it correctly.
Material Type: 157mil Closed Cell Foam, Style: 157 mil 36 SqFt
If you purchasing Siless Liner 157 mil (4 mm) Sound Deadening mat, to block unwanted sounds in your car, this is what you need to buy. But wait! It's not the only thing you need to buy if you want to "actually" deaden sound. By itself, it will definitely block a noticeable amount of sound, and, most likely, that's all you realistically need. But... But... If you want the Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat to really help you take it up a few notches, to get the best sound almost bordering on soundproofing, listen up. You will have to install traditional butyl rubber first. Doesn't have to be the Siless brand, but I'm sure they would love to sell both to you, I used both Killmat (80mil) and Noico (50mil). I have a Honda S2000. It's a two-seater convertible sports car if you don't know what this car is, and it's loud when I'm driving above 60mph. I also happen to have a sound system installed as well. Other than that, the car is stock. I first installed the butyl rubber on the car's interior sheet metal. I went all out and covered everything I could. I didn't need to but I wanted to. I was extremely impressed with the results. But I wanted to go further. Not because I needed to but because just wanted to see what it would be like. So I bought Siless Liner 157 mil (4 mm) 36sqft Sound Deadening mat to go on top of the butyl rubber mats. I put this over every area I installed the butyl rubber. I had to be careful of clearance issues since I added a significant amount of underlayment, and you should too. If you put butyl rubber sound-deadening materials in 50% of the total interior area, you'll hear a noticeable improvement. If you put butyl in about 80% of the total area, you'll be even more amazed at the improvement, compared to before. I originally did all the above myself, so that's my experience and so your mileage may vary. I then installed the Siless Liner Sound Deadening mat over every place I could even going further than I could with the butyl rubber. I used the Siles Liner in areas where butyl rubber would not have been effective, such as the roll bar hoop area and large empty cavities or holes. I covered everything I could, firewall, doors, floor pan, transmission tunnel, trunk, trunk lid, fuel tank area, rear quarter panels, and rear-wheel tunnels, in Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat. WOW!! The Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat was the icing on the cake! Let's not forget, this car is a convertible sports car so it will never be a quiet ride, ever. But I can now actually have a conversation with a passenger at a normal-ish volume! This also means I can now have a normal hands-free phone call without having to plug one ear to block out the noise! My sound system sounds so much better! Just by going through the install process, I looked for any vibration, rattle, squeak, and noise-prone areas to either eliminate or reduce unwanted noise production. If you forget this step, the inside and outside of your car will rattle and buzz. I skipped this step the first time around. But did it right before I installed more butyl rubber and the improvement was impressive, especially inside the car. Outside the car, I didn't notice a difference until I put the last layer of Siless Liner Sound Deadening Mat. The sound deadening mat works both ways from what I can tell. If I turned up my music, as loud as I occasionally do, parked in the attached garage to the house, with the garage door closed, I would be barely able to tell the car was playing music in the garage. It sounds like it is another car, just a little bit down the street, with a very loud base. If you stand 20 feet away outside the car, the sound system is noticeable, but not obnoxious by a long shot. Get a 3 piece wood/metal roller set as well, which makes quick work of large areas.
