Vincenzo Marsiglia

The artworks of Vincenzo Marsiglia are characterised by their development from a four-pointed star, which over time becomes his distinctive mark, a real « logo » of the artist. The construction of his works becomes, so to speak, an obsessional operation that generates components in which this symbol unites with fabric, markers, sequins and ceramics, in a game where rhythm and form, rigorous and balanced, refer to the lesson of the masters of abstract art and minimalism. However, in his most recent creations, the artist employs technological instruments that combine with the pictorial nature of the sign characteristic of the previous phase of research. In these works we find both a contemporary aspect linked to the new communication instruments and the desire not to create a concrete, finished and determined object, but an evolutive and transitory artwork. Through the interaction with the observer, the artwork finds its realization in the process of connection and mutation, which also leads to a decrease in the distance between the artistic object and the user.
