In conjunction with Zurbarán’s exposition at Palazzo dei Diamanti, Marcello Carrà (Ferrara, 1976) realized an evocative homage to the Spanish painter. The artist, skilled in making chiselled drawings by BIC pen, reinterprets Zurbarán’s Agnus Dei remoulding his shape in a series of metamorphosis, through which he intends to meditate on the shape and the mystic meaning connected to this creature.

An unreleased series of works entirely realized by BIC pen shows the lamb’s transformation in a sequence of unexpected metamorphosis, based on the analogy between shapes and silhouettes as well as on the symbolism of the objects itself. All happens in the context of a spiritual crisis from which man is hardly rising again.
