Almost incognito. At the entrance to Artissima. Neither inside nor outside, as in the cooler that separates the realm of the feminine from the realm of the masculine in Marcel Duchamp’s Grand Verre, I perform the duties of a mask, those of someone who checks the access tickets to the exhibition pavilion. Paradoxically unnoticed by… Read more »

La modella atomizzata
(The atomized model)
After the various decompositions, synthesis, radical abstractions, returns to the figure and reductions to a pure concept, I can no longer find my model and so I can only remember her one piece at a time. A fragment that remembers and tells the rest that is missing. A way like any other for not having…
I don’t know why but thinking of Paolo Uccello! Flat and monochromatic surfaces, which generate two different visions in the difference of ninety degrees. A picture that does not change its opinion but contains more than one, a lenticular image. I wanted an unstable work that wasn’t sitting on a nail and that could produce…
At the entrance, a male figure with a formal bearing welcomes those who want to enter. She seems to be part of the staff and who looks after “the public”.

La ricaduta dell’Impero Romano (The relapse of the Roman Empire)

The backdrop of the event, the Dalmatian coast, corresponds to what was the offshoot of the Roman Empire and extension of the Venetian Republic. Omiš,… Read more »
a-riano (a-ryan)
Blond…grey and blue-eyed. A distinctive and unmistakable brand. To be such, I lose my sight at the very moment in which I give myself to that of the public. I can’t see, I’m at the mercy of the moment and I’m talking about images, the images that characterize my figure as an artist. Meh! What… Read more »

“Profilo continuo di Mussolini” (Continuous profile of Mussolini, Renato Bertelli, 1933) embodies the denial of an image and at the same time the duty to exalt the effigy of the dictator. Unlike the tradition of visual art, the work is out of focus, precisely in the act of portraying an individual. It is a gesture… Read more »
