The small traces that Lorenzon leaves on the surface are born as to form a music. They are flanked by each other with a rhythmic cadence, like in a meditation, following a mysterious balance until they form the image we see. Semi-automatic gestures reveal an unpremeditated structure, follow the need to show the feeling of astonishment for the invisible structure of the world.
Piero Chiariello, curator of the exhibition.

The marvel is always available and surround us at any time, everywhere. Salvatore Manzi tries to make it visible to everyone by distilling the compositional methods that he uses each time in the construction of his artworks. In exhibition events, in the intimacy of his history, on the spiritual path he travels, he tends to seek the purest balance, simplest, more useful to understand and describe the dynamics of nature. He aims to follow the relationship that he lives with divinity, to convey the astonishment for the deepest mysteries, trying to solve, for himself and others, issues that have always accompanied us and probably will never leave us.

Salvatore Manzi was born in 1975 in Naples, where he lives and works. Involved from the beginning to the iniquity of the art system and market, he participated in and organized various collective actions to develop processes of artistic depersonalization. He then turned to a more extensive research and numerous references to social distress appeared in his works. Since 2006, following his conversion to Protestantism, his art research has thickened with spiritual content.

Colored tissue paper. Delicate, fragile, light artworks yet at the same time aesthetically solid, strong and sure. These dense contrasts give birth to the most meaningful, elegant and refined artworks.. However, the sunlight makes short the life of colors on tissue paper: they degrade and disappear in a short time. Through this operation, turning these artworks to digital format, the colors become eternal because they find a correspondence in mathematical concepts.
