Le Origini Linguistiche, 2024

Albino Palamara  

Contemporary Abstract Expressionist acrylic and oil on canvas by Italian artist Albino Palamara. Signed to the reverse. Title: Le Origini Linguistiche' (The Origins of Language)

A strikingly colourful and energetic Abstract Expressionist work. An explosion of forms and colour crisscross the space. The artist has covered the canvas with symbols and hieroglyphics of his own imagining, taking us back to the origins of language. Much in the vein of Jackson Pollock this artist encourages the viewer to immerse themselves in a wonderfully complex mass of colour and form and then make what they will of it. The artist purposefully signs only to the reverse side of the painting so that it can be hung either portrait or landscape according to how the viewer wishes to experience it.

The artist Albino Palamara was born in the cradle of Magna Graecia, in Africa (RC) in 1966 and, at a very young age, he moved with his family to Zagarolo.

A multifaceted artist, Albino Palamara has many artistic talents: simultaneously painter, sculptor, graphic designer, mosaicist, illustrator and designer.

Thanks to the family influence rich in innate artistic talent and after having successfully attended the art 'high school' in Rome, he began working as an artist with his particularly unique trait of aesthetics and colour.

Through the use of the most disparate materials, which are not just recycled but represent the process of collecting, repurposing and then offering to others, similar to the path between life, death and the figurative rebirth of Greek tragedy, he manages to capture the deeper aspects of post-modern man between a past rich in human history and a future that is still nebulous and full of unknowns, in clear provocation towards today's consumer society.
