Putting distant worlds together was perhaps written in his destiny. Different places in terms of latitude and culture, but close in his imagination. Carlo Gasperoni is the protagonist of the TerraMareStelle exhibition, curated by Camilla Boemio, which until June 26 will be possible to visit in Ancona at Galleria Papini.
Twenty unpublished works by the artist, on display in the capital of the Marche region, who starting from his childhood in Brazil gave life to a path made of “meditation through images”: on his homeland, on the relationship of those who live there with the surrounding environment, on the colors of that land that too make history. The equatorial nature, in his story, becomes life, becoming a cross-section of the existence of men who live in symbiosis with it.
Digital art
These are themes that at first glance it would not seem easy to deal with the digital art of which Gasperoni is a master. But, the artist has managed to transfer alive polychromies into his work, which give shape to abstract works that are stages in his history, which presents itself as a perfect synthesis between the two souls that make up his identity: that of the artist, with its oneiric and dreamy side, and that of the scientist who needs “proofs” to fulfill his mission.
The distinctive feature of Gasperoni, however, is all here. In grasping the best of both experiences that make up his experience, which in his art becomes his “mission”, a vital act useful to lead those who enjoy his art through a path made of chromatic emotions. Without beginning and without end. After the realization of the individual works with digital technique, there is the printing on dibond aluminum covered with plexiglass, an element that makes the work faithful to the screen on which it was painted and preserves its conservation over time.
Digital art was born in the 1950s by two programmers and mathematicians, the German Manfred Frank and the American Ben Laposky, two experimenters who demonstrate a particular sensitivity towards graphics and who will be the precursors of the explosion of digital art in the The 80s. It is interesting what Camilla Boemio writes in the printed catalog, and in the e-book version, which accompanies the exhibition, when he emphasizes that “Gasperoni’s bold approach to gesture sets directions in which the use of abstraction becomes a both formal and poetic language in which the colors, the shapes hinted at, and the unveiled cosmos take on personal ways of involvement. It is a sustained elaboration of an entire worldview suffused with curiosity, mysticism and criticality ”.
