Velasco Vitali's Goldwatch Exhibition at Assab One in Milan
Velasco Vitali (born Bellano, 25 August 1960) presents 'Goldwatch', a painting exhibition at Studio 3 of Assab One in Milan. The show features 24 works divided into three chapters: 'i colloqui' (24 small canvases painted live on Instagram with friends worldwide), 'il silenzio' (24 drawings symbolizing conceptual reflection and isolation), and 'le meditazioni' (24 large canvases magnifying nature's force). The title references a scene from 'Pulp Fiction' where Christopher Walken gives a gold watch to a young Bruce Willis as a paternal heirloom, symbolizing memory passed on to extend our gaze into the future. The exhibition creates a site-specific, magical garden-like space through a fusion of colors. Vitali returns to Byzantine gold ground and direct copying from life, producing a continuous time-lapse effect.
