ESPRESSIVO BLACK at Stepartfair Milano sculpture

black paintings and sculptures

the project presented at stepartfair Milano sculpture is divided into two phases: one physical and the other of observation

Black absorbs all visible light and returns a visual perception characterized by the absence of any colored sensation.
The artistic project aims to go beyond the physical characteristics of non-color and to overcome the preconceptions attributed to black in order to be able to express its power, elegance and expressiveness.
This absence of the color of the works has been filled with oriented and reflective geometries on surfaces modulated by a rational discipline: integrated mathematics in artistic expression.
Technological sculpture frees the grooves, removes the material and practices the inclinations which, as reflective, destabilize the black and contaminate it making it turn on the gray scale up to the white antagonist
The plastic structure and the light are accomplices and protagonists of the project.

From the look to the observation
The second phase of the project seeks to lead the observer to abandon conventional schemes for the benefit of new emotional systems arising not from color, but from the dynamism of the stroke.
The observation of the work will take place in the presence of forced and dynamic lighting.
Amplifying the shadows is not intended to generate an imaginary effect; the desire is not to amaze, but to make shapes and shadows clearly and new to be observed.
In this phase, the dynamism of light must not be used as an element of evaluation of the work, but as a guide to a more aware, in-depth and dynamic observation.
Using this methodology, the vision of the work in the presence of natural light, albeit in a more calm way, causes changes in the view and destabilizes the approximate observation.
The details, independent units from each other, are an indivisible whole that manifests itself in the complexity of the forms and changes as the perspective view varies.
