PIERLUIGI PUSOLE | P/16

16 JUNE – 3 SEPTEMBER 2016

The show displays an important group of drawings that testify the typical dualism in Pusole’s paintings, in which essence and existence, real and imaginary, visible and invisible communicate in order to create a dreamlike universe.

“The Turin artist moves the tortuous and complex paths of Nature, investigated and analyzed on two different levels: mimesis and scientific research. It is precisely this combination becomes concept, image and sign a project that explores the possible metamorphosis of nature, which summarizes in diagrams, signs, “molecules” primary structures of reality. Pusole, therefore, does not represent the reality, but it “creates” another reality. The “modular elements” of the paper create open windows on visionary and intense scenes. A *pluricettivo* short circuit that attracts the viewer into the work space, which pushes the eye to enter into the color textures, paper, to travel in a universe of signs and symbols. Pierluigi Pusole’s work is, thus, a hallucination metamorphic reality, the creation of a “beyond” outside time and space.”

(Alessandro Demma)
