Fontaine Scarelli Assumption in Space For Sale

About this work

Assumption in Space is among the quieter and more concentrated works in this body of paintings — a single large canvas in oil that pursues a more restrained palette than many of Scarelli's mixed-media works. The painting's title suggests both an act of presumption and a taking up of position, the figure or form implied within the composition moving through space on its own terms, unverified and unanchored. Completed in 2026 at 170 × 140 cm, the work rewards close attention: passages of transparent oil allow earlier marks and decisions to remain partially visible, creating a sense of accumulated time within a single image. Assumption in Space is a painting about what is taken on faith — aesthetically, philosophically, personally.
