RESIDENT
PIETRO PASOLINI
ITALY
Pietro Pasolini, through the use of classic materials from the photographic, painting and sculpture tradition has developed a practice that merges the boundaries of these three disciplines and explores the essence of being a contemporary artist today. His work is a visual ode to the beauty and fragility of our planet and intends to accredit the relationship between man and the environment as the most fundamental creative process. The artist tries to redefine our view of nature presenting it as an entity of its own, which is both subject and co-author of his work. The natural world becomes his studio and the elements become the tools (the paint and brush) he uses to produce his works, which ranges from color images to brass and copper oxidations. Using non-traditional practices and innovative view points the artist has created a strong mythology around the evolutionary ability of some of his works. His work has been exhibited in various institutions and galleries including The International Center of Photography, Galleria Valentina Bonomo, The Sculpture Park and Gallery OneTwentyEight and is part of numerous private collections including Bulgari, Antinori, Lombardi and di Marzio Gaist.
