CRITIC
Davide Martinazzo has developed his pictorial research creating a separate universe, untied from every day life necessities, and rich in evocations of the dimension, of feelings seen as the only experience that can connect every individual.
The Painter’s canvas becomes the place where all elements can blend with one another in something soft and complete. Shapes become smoother and corners round off, while the silhouettes wind in a sinuous way. Colours are soft, warm and powerful building up a magic on dream-world, a dream dimension, altogether a substantional, lasting dream capable of giving voice to childhood language or eros, where everything is soft, sweet and smooth.
The curved line gives a frame to the space flow, giving birth to an ever free and dynamic morphology: sinuous calligraphy is repeated to create a weave, a decorative pattern filling up the perceptive screen, spreading to all directions.
Icon pictures stand out from these backgrounds, stylized and light hearts, letters, butterflies, musical notes, graphisms and jigsaw mark my works.: elements emanated from the Artist’s recollections making up a kind of autobiographical dictionary, both basic and rich in allusions and appeal.
Nonetheless the choice of subjects which belong to a collective imaginary – therefore immediately recognisable – allows a flow of continuovs conversation with the observer involved in a backwards journey; this brings the observer to the retrieval of a free look, capable of feeling wonder before the things of the world.
In this way the Artist’s individual course becomes a trail to universal experience that every one can feel as their own.
