Alessandro Scarabello's 'Restless Picture' at The Gallery Apart, Rome
The Gallery Apart in Rome is hosting 'Restless Picture,' a solo showcase by Alessandro Scarabello, born in Rome in 1979 and currently residing between Brussels and Italy. This exhibition delves into the theme of transformation in painting, where mistakes become opportunities. Scarabello distances himself from traditional techniques, opting for an unpredictable flow that challenges the conventional roles of artist and artwork. Influenced by 19th-century Italian artistry, the show conveys a raw ambiance that mirrors personal struggles, with painted visuals in a state of constant decay and renewal. Scarabello remarks, "Painting is an instinct that leaves traces through images, essential like the instinct to walk." His pieces feature geometric shapes, sporadic squares, and vibrant colors, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Text by Michele Luca Nero.
