Description :

Bold and intellectually engaging, this limited-edition lithograph by Italo Scanga exemplifies the artist’s distinctive abstract-figurative language from the late 1980s. Two Female Saints and a Skull combines expressive black-and-white textures with striking geometric color fields, creating a layered composition rich in symbolism and visual tension.

The imagery blends figurative references, architectural forms, and symbolic motifs—hallmarks of Scanga’s work—inviting interpretation while maintaining a strong modernist presence. Produced as a four-color lithograph, the work is hand-signed, dated 1989, titled in pencil, and numbered 6/15, from a small, collectible edition.

This piece is a documented work by Scanga and is known to have been printed in collaboration with master printer Bill Lagattuta. Framed and ready to display, it makes a compelling statement for modern, contemporary, or gallery-style interiors.
