Vincenzo Schillaci on Artribune Podcast: Painting as Continuous Transformation
In the latest episode of the Artribune Podcast, Vincenzo Schillaci, who hails from Palermo and was born in 1984, shares insights into his artistic journey. His practice involves a continual process of layering and erasing on painted surfaces, works on paper, and bronze pieces. Schillaci, raised in Sicily, captures the conflict between stability and flux in his art. He has held solo exhibitions and partnered with institutions like Fondazione La Rocca, emphasizing perpetual change. Since 2021, he has delved into Aristotle's concept of phantasma to explore the creation and decay of pictorial images. His recent bronze works challenge the distinctions between painting and objects, focusing on the image's 'resistance' and the dynamic role of color. A significant piece, 'Fare un quadro', maintains original gestures amid transformation.
