Description
This abstract composition explores matter with an almost archaeological approach. The eye scans horizontal strata that evoke a cross-section of soil or the memory of a landscape. The artist superimposes oil and collage to create a textured surface.
The gesture fades in favor of a search for substance. Vertical lines rhythmize the space, creating an effect of organic grooves. The upper part is illuminated with ochre and earthy tones.
The center darkens to make way for a deep and dense area. This darkness suggests a spiritual dimension, an inner journey through matter. The bottom of the painting opens up to bluish-gray shades, bringing a chromatic balance to the whole.
This work plays on the contrast between light and shadow. The mixed technique emphasizes the raw and tactile aspect of the surface. The final image resembles an X-ray of nature, revealing the hidden essence of the elements.
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."
