Marcello Mariani, Mattia Moreni - New Principles of Figuration

Mattia Moreni and Marcello Mariani represent, from the painting experiences of the early 70s, two examples of poetic and formal freedom for some coinciding aspects. Setting aside for a short time informal painting, they proceed to distant shores of figurative derivation.

Press Release

Mattia Moreni and Marcello Mariani represent, from the painting experiences of the early 70s, two examples of poetic and formal freedom for some coinciding aspects. Setting aside for a short time informal painting, they proceed with originality to distant shores of figurative derivation, often imbued with a feverish light, yet softly sensual. A kind of "erotic God" moves their neighboring post-informal experiences to guide their poetic wandering in unexpected directions. Color mutations, ancestral shades, cuts, wounds, and backgrounds of diaphanous colors are all there. Marcello Mariani’s pink and red are the flesh tones of bodies deformed by harmony, waiting to dissolve into new cellular spaces.
The meta-historical sweetness of Mattia Moreni brings it all together in a poem that is mysteriously shadowy, an enigmatic symbol of new distant worlds. Not-watermelons are mocking imitations of a feeling of poetic unconsciousness, forms of a pre-existential mystery that foreshadows a poetic act from humanoid sunrise. Our artists come back to desire, evoking gates of earthly love. Transcendent pictorial eroticism and vagueness of memory, a distant nostalgia resurgent in sudden new principles of figuration.
