Main Gallery: MARCO CASENTINI: Recent Paintings
Marco Casentini, an Italian painter currently living in southern California,
shows reductive monochromatic paintings on canvas. The subtle and refined
red, black, white, gray, green, and yellow canvases mark a distinctive new
direction in Casentini's work. These formal investigations of color and
spatial play are comprised of multiple geometric planes created through
layering a single color and changing the direction of the brush stroke. The
seemingly simple compositions create a constant visual paradox between
two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Painted on canvas over board,
with the painted planes continuing on the sides of the work, the implied
overlapping textures continually flux between the flatness of the paint and
their illusionistic depth to create distinct spatial tensions. Standing
out from the wall, the paintings exist as a interplay of geometries
emphasized by the flatness of their medium and their sculptural presence.
