Fabrizio Corneli
February 15 — March 22, 2019
The artist’s expressive language delves into the dialectical play between light and shadows through the surprising effects of refraction, disassembly and anamorphosis which draw the spectator into an experience of pure perspective.
The artist’s works emerge as unpredictable revelations: figures composed of light and shadows, inspired by classical statuary such as Polykleitos’ Doryphoros. They are portraits, landscapes in the Taoist manner, or ephemeral spheres of coloured light which gravitate in space like the 2m x 2m work entitled Halo which Corneli first presents at the Studio Trisorio in an experiment with a never-before used dimension.
The pavement of the exhibition sight is also included in the installation in a work which, while inspired by Islamic motifs, is actually taken from an inlaid marble work in the Cathedral of Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, and demonstrates the osmosis between various cultures.
