Diego Soldà's sculptural paintings at Atipografia in Arzignano

Diego Soldà's exhibition 'La cava delle nuvole bianche' at Atipografia in Arzignano presents sculptures made entirely from paint. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, the show explores paint as a material for sculptural form. Soldà builds up layers of tempera, then cuts into them to reveal the creative process. The works range from wall-mounted to freestanding, occupying the gallery space with a linear yet touching presence. The artist, born in Arzignano in 1981, uses color as matter, focusing on the thickness and potential of paint rather than figuration. Each layer corresponds to a private moment in his life, making the works an intimate diary. Atipografia, founded in 2014 in a former printing shop, aims to bring contemporary art to an area lacking such spaces. Soldà's approach offers viewers a new way to read painterly language, emphasizing authenticity and materiality.
