Gianni Asdrubali September 2018, two acrylic paintings
These are the artist’s most recent paintings in Maglione. Creating space is his intention. Since emptiness does not exist, he corrects it with these forms that define it. Defining emptiness means creating forms from nothing to make them become space. The forms are a pretext, the product of an energetic gesture that gives them structural vibrations, a dynamism that gives the impression that they float in space, solid and compact like sculptures. Asdrubali states that they are finished, resolved figures, presences that dialogue with the void. He gives physicality to the void; it is like a fight, a victorious contest.
