Phalaenopsis. Pencil drawings, oil paintings on paper and oil paintings. Quiet furnished interiors, bereft of human presence, and delicate portraits post-mortem, taken from a collection of vintage photographs.
Clouds Gallery opens an exhibition of Vito Stassi which presents a selection of thirty drawings in pencil and oil on paper, painted canvas and some oil produced in the last two years. It is furnished mostly in quiet interiors, bereft of human presence, and delicate portraits post-mortem, taken from a collection of vintage photos. The collected works are exhibited in rooms on the first floor of the Gallery in order to emphasize an intimate and quasi-private: the lights dimmed, the chance to see works from different perspectives and to discover her, almost, after their own thoughts allow to approach with due discretion in an exhibition at the same time mild and lasts .
The title is already a clue: the name may seem like a butterfly and instead is a botanical term which refers to a flower and literally means similar to the butterfly then the illusion that here is an illusion of life is the key to understanding the proposal shows and message Stassi that "with the care and dedication of the entomologist - writes Giuseppe Diana - pierces through the thin needles of its elegant graphic, faces lost, fragile as butterfly wings, return the viewer in a visual catalog for simplicity and purity of form that could be compared to a collection of haiku. "
Sure surprised the object and how to paint this young artist in a country that seems to only be able to make a din shouting vulgarities, Stassi is simply and naturally another way to talk about things that we hold very dear . What is new here?
