Graffi di vita is the title of the artwork, a diptych, that the artist
Luca De Marchi proposes to the British public in occasion of the III
International Art Expo Galleria Farini in London.
A painting realized at the
beginning of this 2019 and that has a predominant role given by the chromia that vehemently
appropriates pictorial space, following a scheme that is not content with only
one canvas, but that overflows, needing a wider area and conquer a new space,
beyond the traditional limit given by the canvas.
De Marchi pushes his
research towards an investigation that places the chromatic and luministic value in a foundamental perspective dimension,
through which the unfathomable communication between the parts acquires a main
role in a phenomical construction that find its
roots in the Nineties avantgardes’ concepts intra and extramoenia, and extrapolates from them something new, here’s the
possibilities to unveil new balances inside the artist’s inner language.
Graffi di vita is focused on an abstraction that looks at a powerful
geometry, generating a sort of magnetism that fascinates the eyes and the mind
of the observer, captures his senses, starting an intense dialogue with the
accessible universe, dependent on that syncopated rhythm imposed by the painted
dimension.
The shape and its new
establishment act like a magmatic attractive field for perceptive sensors, they
show and hide, unveil and represent, at the same time. The canvas becomes a
vibrant support in which suggestions become concrete, thanks to a dictionary
that reacts, changes, in complementary and plural ways. The material is
‘scratched’ by color and gesture, giving life to a deconstruction which is the
starting point, as stratifications able to propose themselves as a saviour and cathartic path.
The canvas turns in a
metaphorical body, or a skin, on which the whole world is poured, and from
which it is important to defend ourselves, trying not to die. The vital
strength lies under that scratches, and emerges a vital and ancestral energy,
an indescribable light that holds to unconscious.
In this way the language by
Luca De Marchi embraces the research of a clear and aesthetic harmony, and goes
beyond the sense of tangible, of “hic et nunc”, to go towards a transcendent immanency, to an intimate receiving
of the truth, that must be preserved as a memento and should be materialized in
a message of universal virtues.
