WHAT

A master of the art of synthesis, this is Italian artist, Gioele Amaro’s first solo show at the gallery. He combines, transforms, and blurs the boundaries to construct a dialogue between traditional mediums (painting, photography, drawing) and new technologies. His work is digitally painted, then printed on canvas. After reworking each canvas, he then applyies several layers of varnish. Painting ‘horizons’ for this exhibition – as seen from windows, and even through a smartphone screen – he reduces them to the simplest forms.

WHY

Be mesmerised by the different hues and colours of Amaro’s works. By bringing his own touch to original techniques, he also shifts figurative representation into the abstract and captures the essence of the subject from real life. In addition, by appealing to his audience’s subconscious, his paintings take on allegorical representations of the passage of time.
