Description
This intriguing artwork merges literature and marine life into a single, captivating sculpture. An open book serves as the base, its pages meticulously folded and carved to create the striking image of a fish emerging from the pages. The fish, adorned with finely detailed scales in shades of blue and gray, appears as if it is leaping through words and stories, symbolizing the boundless imagination that reading can inspire. The brick wall backdrop adds an earthy contrast, highlighting the delicate craftsmanship of the paper fish. This piece challenges the viewer to consider the transformative power of literature, suggesting that stories have the ability to transcend the page and enter the realm of the tangible. The juxtaposition of a static book with the dynamic motion of the fish creates a powerful visual tension, inviting contemplation and admiration.
Presentation
ANTONIO PRESTI
TURIN, Italy •
Artist (Painting, Sculpture) •
Born in 1950 •
I had my first solo exhibition at the age of 18 in 1969 in Caltanissetta in Sicily, where I was born. I have exhibited in the most beautiful cities in Italy including: Agrigento, Caltanissetta (1969.71), Palermo (1971), Naples (Castel dell'Ovo 2016), Rome (2015), Macerata (1970), L'Aquila (1971). ), Rimini (2006), Spoleto (1975), Bologna (Artefiera 1993), Sanremo, Cuneo (1977, 1980), where I lived from 1979 to 2015, Ferrara (2013) and Turin (2013), where I I have been installed since 2015. I have also exhibited abroad:
Hawaii in 2007, in France in Chouze sur Loire, at the Château des Reaux Museum (permanent work), and in Paris (performance in 2014).
For me, painting is an investigation, a therapy and an outlet: I have tried different painting techniques and different materials to search for the balance and perfection that I have not yet found.
For many years my favorite theme has been the Tree to which I have devoted different cycles. "Antonio Presti's long, meditated and measured pictorial itinerary is identified with a revisited naturalism, with a meticulous search for the values of color and material, with a figuration linked to a vision of reality...." ( Angelo Mistrangelo). The great Monregais dialect poet Remigio Bertolino describes my recent art well in the presentation of my personal exhibition at the Ceramics Museum of Mondovì in 2014: “His images which seem to arise from a source of dreams and archetypal forms, images of a great emotional impact, transmit to the user "visions" of high poetry..."
