In the remarkable oeuvre of Ian Bertolucci, "Red Heart" stands out as a testament to the emotive power of simplicity. This 40x40 cm (approximately 15.75x15.75 inches) oil on canvas captures the solitary elegance of a photorealistic red heart balloon, tethered to unseen strings of sentiment and rendered with a finesse that speaks volumes of Bertolucci's mastery over the medium.
