Alessandro Twombly
Blondeau Fine Art Services BFAS, Geneve
Recent works: sculptures and works on paper. Though Twombly's motifs are essentially botanic in origin, the themes oh his work touch on emotion, lyfe cycles and their expression in art
BFAS Blondeau Fine Art Services first exhibited a number of oils on camvas by Alessandro Twombly in 2005. Now is proud to present a solo echibition of Twombly's sculptures and works on paper at its exhibtion space at 5 rue de la Museon the occasion of the forthcoming Nuit de Bains, 3 May 2012.
Though Alessandro Twombly's motifs are essentially botanic in origin, the themes oh his work touch on emotion, lyfe cycles and their expression in art. The sense of space and proportion, combined with the simple effect of juxtaposed colours, is sufficient to produce the sensous illusion of a floral texture, a profusion of scent, a field of wild irises. Elsewhere, in a flower unconventionallybut passionately depicted, the spectator is torn between the sheer luxuriance of forms and colours and the desire to remember where and when the sensation of these extraordinary images was first encountered.
In twombly's sculptures, we sense the metamorphosis of the plant from its germ in the soil to the decomposition of its fruit. These visual changes remind us of the spiritual landscape that bestrides the course of our lives and our souls: "Made from Essence to describe Essence/ Matter that matters, Mastered".
Making a single rhythm of colour and the indentation of stone, the gesture of the artist physically records not only the cycle of the flesh but the nostalgic memory of an emotion experienced or even imagined. Thus the artist poetically guides the spectator on an introspective voyage.
This exhibition is organised in collaboration with Caterina Pazzi arte moderna e contemporanea.
