Pierluigi Pusole
On Wednesday October 3, the Studio d’Arte Cannaviello inaugurated an exhibition of new works by Pierluigi Pusole. For the show Pusole has created a series of paintings specifically for the gallery, which explore that borderland where landscape paintings are almost entirely the fruit of an imaginary image. Thus the exhibition provides an opportunity for the viewers to contemplate the work of an artist who has always understood painting as a challenge in relation to nature and art: painting must seek to free itself from the constrains imposed by questions of content and emphasize its experimental aspect instead in the search to become a true method by which to study reality. The works on display are of two sizes only—60 x 50 cm. in the first room and 180 x 120 cm. in the second—but as the “mini worlds” depicted are to scale, all the images subsequently appear the same size. The other characteristic element of Pusole’s new work is the color of the landscapes, largely played out in the contrast between white and acid yellow. This is broken up by marks, scratches, runs, and small traces of pencil in the paint, which etch the vague outline of a edifice, although it is unclear whether we are looking at a naked tree branch, or a TV aerial, or somethoing else.
Born in Turin in 1963, Pierluigi Pusole took part in the Open section of the 1990 Venice Biennale and in 1991 was among the artists shown at the exhibition Anni Novanta, held at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Bologna. In 1996 he showed at the quadriennale in Rome, in 1997 he returned to the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Bologna for the exhibition Arte Italiana. Pittura iconica, while in 1999 he was the subject of a solo show at the Fondazione Bandera entitled Paesaggio Anno Zero. In 2000 he took part in the fifty-first Premio Michetti and in Futurama, Arte in Italia 2000, at the Centro per l' Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci in Prato. An exhibition catalogue, including a text by Gianni Romano, is available in the gallery.
