Danese Milano Due Oche Grigie silkscreen printing

Due Oche Grigie is a silkscreen print by Enzo Mari for Danese Milano, part of the celebrated Nature Series. Produced using a three-color silkscreen technique on 200 g/m² Dropjet paper, the work measures 695 mm in width by 495 mm in height and stands as one of the most eloquent expressions of the Milanese master's graphic research.

The animal subjects of the Nature Series are the result of iconographic research that Mari developed in the early 1960s, while defining the characters for the educational project Gioco delle Favole. Each subject emerged from a long process of study and reduction, aimed at achieving an emblematic form capable of expressing a clear and universally recognizable visual language. In Due Oche Grigie, Mari transforms the simple figure of two geese into a stylized graphic composition built through essential shapes and balanced proportions: the silhouettes are reduced to their most recognizable elements, creating an image that is at once playful and symbolic. Through this process of visual simplification, the designer constructs an alphabet of institutionalized signs, in which natural subjects become universal graphic icons. Part of the ongoing reissue of Mari's iconic prints, the work brings the clarity and educational spirit of his research into contemporary interiors, integrating naturally into the living room as well as the bedroom, where graphic simplicity communicates meaning, rhythm, and character. A signed edition is also available upon request, for an additional fee.
