Massimo Kaufmann's Tactile Paintings at Drago artecontemporanea, Palermo

Massimo Kaufmann (Milan, 1963) presents his synesthetic works at Drago artecontemporanea in Palermo. The exhibition, titled "Pesce di terraferma," marks the third and final installment of Maurizio Padovano's serial narrative published by Drago Edizioni. Kaufmann illustrates the story with twelve original cards "drawn" on Braille writing pages. Inspired by the tactile experience of volumes at the Biblioteca Italiana per Ciechi in Monza, Kaufmann creates abstract paintings on colored sheets that invite touch. His series "Clinamen," named after the Epicurean physics concept describing the swerve of atoms that gives rise to the variety of phenomena, depicts an order within chaos through unpredictable trajectories of pure energy. The exhibition runs at Drago artecontemporanea in Palermo.
