Sometimes
Sometimes Acrylic and tempera on different layers of canvas 140×120 cm – 2011
Words steeped in fragments stolen from the accelerated society of today’s cyber world, but also street corners, in which the artist pours out with venting his controversial being. From 2000, he began working on plywood panels and canvases, where with spray, brush and acrylic, he began to focus attention on new details, this time anatomical details of female faces, clearly silhouetted on the support, almost always clean, white. “Working on the line is the only way to fill the portrait with soul and subjective depth”. These are contaminations between language and behavior that merge into a visual architecture where image, word and collective historical evocation, albeit intimate and introspective – offer themselves symbiotically to the gaze, to arrive at the creation of real polyptychs of decomposed and interpenetrating planes (2004 – 2011). The artist likes to define these multiple searches of his as ‘studies’ or ‘projects’, an example of which is the series of Triptychs, large portraits that cover the entire canvas or cut-out faces, whose details symbolize the idea of purity, emerging isolated in features just mentioned, in which the concept of “removing” prevails.
