Marco Bagnoli

Examination of the artist’s contribution reveals his sense of art as a different reality in which to exist and operate. Testimony to a journey through time and space capable of arriving where language can no longer be spoken or understood, thus enabling the spiritual to manifest itself as the natural complement of matter. The discovery of an approach that finds inspiration in an “elsewhere” to create moments of vibration in which opposites meld. A superseding of the univocal, linear tendencies that characterized Minimalism and Conceptual Art, to achieve a dialogue capable of making the physical and the mental, the emotive and the logical reverberate with one another through the use of colors and objects, light and shadow. An unprecedented poetic-scientific refoundation of artistic creation, that proclaims the unity of cultures so as to eliminate all boundaries and distances, and endow aesthetic investigation once again with the simultaneous presence of all the polarities of feeing and perception.
