Paolo Pelosini: Nocturnes
Paolo Pelosini鈥檚 "Nocturnes" builds his vision of Eden at night, where destructive elements flourish through the thick black tar, ghastly creatures party in the absence of humans, and metal angels guard the canvases. While Pelosini鈥檚 style is informed by his classical training at the Instituto d鈥橝rte, it is his affinity for the gruesome, the dark and malevolent, that flash into the viewer visions of a monstrous, polluted world, while the artwork itself maintains its beauty.
The paintings are large scale portals into landscapes that spread somewhere between the wild and the city, which emphasize big, turbulent clouds, and the eerie moon. On first glance the viewer may think these places are impossible, but soon one notices how common some of these animals can be, how often we encounter tar in the city, and how often natural disasters loom over our post-industrial world.
