About
In these paintings, the Milan-based artist "filters" real horizons to something that looks like stills of a software timeline in low-res mode. In another parallel reality, these paintings could be seen as an ascetic walkthrough captured by the eyes of an avatar lost in the skies of an abandoned virtual world. Landscapes composed by floating brushes and gradient ribbons made of smooth blue or grey shades, in some way non-permanent "objects" ready to be rhythmically edited and adjusted. These paintings are like prototypes of a digital nature, images that could be taken and composed from online repositories and open libraries, bringing me to mind an early internet nostalgia where every graphic had to be very simple and "light" so it can be downloaded fast from a slow dial-up connection.
