POST / ZÜRICH

This striking painting captures the bold architectural facade of a vintage post office building, showcasing a tall structure with a minimalist design. The dominant yellow and gray colors create a modern yet nostalgic mood. The building features a large round clock prominently displayed at the top, emphasizing the passage of time. The stark lines and geometric shapes are complemented by the vivid yellow lettering spelling 'POST', which stands out against the softer hues of the backdrop. The clear blue sky adds to the clean and crisp atmosphere, creating a harmonious balance between the architecture and its surroundings.
This painting would serve as an excellent focal point in a modern office space, bringing a touch of urban sophistication. It can also enhance living rooms, entryways, or creative workspaces, adding a sense of nostalgia and connection to community spaces. Its muted yet engaging color palette makes it versatile enough to complement various interior designs, from contemporary to industrial styles.

An interesting subject, this painting by Manuel Di Chiara, after his return from a stay in Zurich. The strong daylight this time illuminates the central tower of the old Zurich Post. With great attention to detail, the artist also paints the clock that characterizes this typical rationalist architecture. The scene taken from below is well painted, and the atmosphere has a metaphysical quality.
