From genesis to process,
right up to death, the artist assembles and kneads painting and sculptural
materials, always seeking a ceremonial result that welcomes and contemplates
them simultaneously. Every material device employed transforms into that
expressive fragment useful for recounting the transience of the work, just like
any other living form. It's as if Michele Bruna wanted to underline the
'negentropic' alchemy in the becoming of things. It's about that play of forces
that, contrary to entropy in its motion to disperse, tends instead to gather,
unite, and amalgamate. The constant questioning of art and its means leads the
artist to consider art as both a means and an end in itself.
There is an almost indissoluble bond between the matter
that creates and that, in turn, is modified by nature. From genesis to death,
the process is almost ritualistic; the fiber of the paper, the color, the
water, and the earth meet as essential elements, and from this osmotic process,
the work is born, unique and unrepeatable, in constant morphosis. In uncontaminated
nature, many more factors act to declare the state of the work: in his
experience, the best results have been obtained when the natural element has
been given free rein.
