Andrea Barzaghi's restless paintings on view at Société Interludio in Cambiano
Andrea Barzaghi (b. 1988, Monza) presents a solo exhibition at Société Interludio in Cambiano, featuring oil paintings characterized by dense, layered chromatic matter. The works depict anonymous silhouettes suspended in a timeless mental condition, evoking a frozen narrative on the verge of fragmentation, reminiscent of Peter Doig's atmospheres. Androgynous figures in unstable or intimate postures occupy liminal spaces between being and becoming, embodying what Francis Bacon called the psychic invisible. Barzaghi's painterly language prioritizes what is yet to be shown over the visible. Landscapes are constructed through subtraction, with ramified gradations, warm earth tones, and luminous passages creating an uncanny calm. The human figure serves as a mobile icon of interiority, challenging identity contours. The exhibition includes the work 'Storia del cammino dell'ermafrodita,' which achieves a slowed visual tempo and immersive experience recalling Bill Viola's dilated time. Curated by Giuseppe Arnesano, the show is an itinerary through physical and poetic gesture, thought becoming form, and matter becoming consciousness.
