Edition of 250 - Color digital inkjet print on handmade paper - In mint condition // Untitled Self Portrait by Francesco Clemente, created in 1993, is a color digital inkjet print that combines bold abstraction with figurative elements. The piece features a vivid red form resembling an organic, intertwined shape that takes up much of the composition. Emerging from within this abstract red mass is a stylized self-portrait of Clemente himself, rendered with expressive detail, particularly in his face. The contrast between the bold, flat red forms and the finely detailed portrait adds a dynamic tension to the work, inviting viewers to interpret the abstract shapes as extensions or reflections of the artist’s inner self. Printed on handmade paper, this piece is part of an edition of 250, and it showcases Clemente's exploration of identity, body, and emotion through vibrant color and fluid form.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
