Paolo Bini

My artistic research is an investigatory attempt to transform and re-appropriate the authentic notions of ‘the memory of an image’ as it adheres to the contemporary rhythms in the world around us. 

These images are formed as a pixilation of units. Usually marked out by a scanner or a plotter, the result here is a succession of coloured’ stripes’ that become a succinct and redefined translation of what came before. Working with ‘painting’, the paint is almost always on that is applied to tape paper, and then onto media such as a tablesurface or cotton canvas. This creative process, in which I rearrange these ‘pixelated lines’ is done carefully with a particular reflection on the spacial formation of the image. The aim is to try to recreate the sensations and emotions that originally spurred its creation. This operative perspective, which reflects the need to assert, as a matter of conscience, the idea of a multifaceted space of contemporaneity and of a new approach to it, has led to to installations, notably Colour absence, in suspense, made for the Museo Palazzo Bianco in Genoa for Rolli Days 2010, and Approdo (2014), created for the main hall of Palazzo Mezzacapo, an eighteenth-century palace on the Amalfi Coast.
