Verified profile

The three large canvases exhibited in this project evocatively recall and mirror each other and assume the complex subject of the Crucifixion as a matrix, as a “pilot flame”. Pessoli's painting is eclectic, rich in historical memories and sedimentations (from metaphysics, to surrealism, to popular visual culture) with which he maintains an empathic adhesion, perfectly managing to internalize the sense of continuity in the history of art. In this exhibition, the images belonging to a religious iconographic tradition are actualized and become the bearers of potential figural reinventions. Maintaining this basic register, Pessoli reinvents, recalibrates the shapes and the emotional intensity of these figures by putting them in close dialogue with the landscape that welcomes them, giving them a different lightness, creating a balance between drama and pictorial playfulness. Processually his work is built with a fluid heterogeneity of techniques and styles: the craftsmanship of collage and spray paint applied through the use of masks, interpenetrates with the more traditional pictorial gesture, becoming an integral part of it. Pessoli's painting is therefore formed through a process of linguistic, symbolic, physical construction and deconstruction, in which often the erased, covered, surviving parts constitute the supporting structure of the painting, in search of an inner truth, which manifests itself in the vitality of the painting. image and brushstroke, the goal the artist continually strives for in his work. Painting has always been a language of choice for Pessoli, from its inception, in the late 1980s, to today.
