Ignazio Mortellaro's Land and Mindscapes at Galleria Francesco Pantaleone
Ignazio Mortellaro (Palermo, 1978) presents two series at Galleria Francesco Pantaleone in Palermo. 'Land' comprises oxidized iron plates evoking redefined maps of lands and seas between matter and archetype. 'Mindscapes' features collages of remnants and documents from old construction sites, reassembled into visionary, futuristic images. Mortellaro's method prioritizes beauty as a creative process, subtracting rather than adding, and blending complexity with constraint. His work interprets the visible and real to access new knowledge, merging geometry and alchemy into linear yet complex fractal-like compositions. The harmony between man and nature, finite and infinite, unites the pieces.
