Description
This abstract composition explores the depth of a dense and textured black. The material accumulates in vertical strata, creating a rich and irregular surface. The collage work builds the relief and brings a tactile dimension to the whole, while the different layers of material give rise to subtle variations in depth.
The eye circulates between the shades of graphite and charcoal. A thin light band crowns the top of the work. This contrast emphasizes the dark mass that occupies the space and accentuates the verticality of the composition.
The balance rests on this tension between darkness and light. The mineral aspect recalls rock formations or burnt bark. The rigor of the structure brings a serene stability to the whole.
The artist works here the density and superposition of materials to create a surface that is both deep and organic. The different elements of the collage subtly catch the light, revealing shades of gray and variations in texture. The final rendering presents a matte, tactile, and richly textured surface.
Presentation
Rosario Galatioto was surrounded by many artists since his tender childhood. Indeed, his family from Sicily settled in the village of Gordes and became friends with Deyrolle, Raffin and especially Vasarely. It was in this atmosphere conducive to artistic exchanges that Rosario Galatioto dedicated himself to painting, encouraged notably to persevere by Vasarely, who witnessed his first brushstrokes. For more than forty years, the artist has exhibited internationally at many fairs and salons, and also collaborates with architects as an interior decorator. The works of Rosario Galatioto are part of many art collections in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, the United States and the United Kingdom.
ARTISTIC APPROACH
The "painting" which by definition expresses intention, is too reductive to speak of Rosario Galatioto's painting. Indeed, the Artist's artistic research corresponds to a primitive, almost archaeological language, which hints at the intuitive approach to the support and materials used. Rosario Galatioto's landscapes are more akin to an X-ray than an attempt at interpretation. The Artist works with the line leading sometimes to more graphic compositions going up to using collage. The gesture becomes accessory and the Artist focuses on the composition while respecting the random aspect offered to him by his supports.
As author Claude-Henri Rocquet describes so well in his work "put the book title here" published by Les compagnons d'Hermès in 2016: "Galatioto: The night, childhood, painting: If Galatioto represents a black mountain, it is because he shows its substance rather than the outside and the appearance. He is the traveler of inner paths, of the inside, and this night that I recognize in him is the substantial night of the soul, the intimate, spiritual night."
