Statement In my work there is a prevailing obsession regarding the materiality of the body and the twofold relationship between identity and memory. Memory intended as a collective and individual chronicle, and time as the residual evidence of a lost future, perhaps trapped in its own circular nature. My pictorial work, in the construction of images, has a certain familiarity with the theories of Bergson on the process of retrieving memories. Images that are not pure and never completely reliable, which perception pronounces in an enriched series of representations and consequent actions viscerally based on experience, but also of revealing signs that hint at the possibility of further evolvement. The painted surface is permeated by a dimension suspended between reality and imagination, that is precarious and naturally nomadic. In the search for a possible root, I focus, at least initially, on an accumulation of saturated images of human transition, belonging to the iconography that time, in its circularity, has helped to codify. It is at this point that the obsession takes shape which the painting translates in the rhythm of the epidermal layers in which I intervene amassing attempts, recoveries, failures and new ideas. My interest then opens up to an unfathomable dimension, in which doubt is the only possible revelation. And the appearance of these traces on the canvas is not the confirmation of having discovered something, but it is the testimony of a deletion and the appearance of a number of hypotheses.

GIORGIO PIGNOTTI Nato a / Born in / Ascoli Piceno nel 1979, vive e lavora / live and works in / ad Ascoli Piceno STATEMENT Ammetto l'atto pittorico come epigono della vita, con le sue immagini e le sue stratificazioni. Lo affermo, ma alla fine riconosco anche l'opposto. È il dubbio il cardine attorno al quale muovo la mia pratica. L'ambiguo può celare una rivelazione. Sulla tela compaiono tracce che non sono mai la conferma di aver scovato qualcosa. Sono la testimonianza di una rimozione, di un occultamento. Sono l'apparire di una serie di ipotesi. La necessità dell'atto di dipingere mi spinge a edificare una superficie dove costruisco un tempo attraverso le continue rimozioni e gli accumuli di pittura. L'immagine pittorica oscilla così in una realtà nomade, vive in un tempo indefinibile che trovo familiare. Leggere le teorie di Bergson sul processo di recupero dei ricordi mi ha aiutato a costruire stratificazioni di immagini non pure, cangianti e inaffidabili. Immagini che la percezione articola in una serie di rappresentazioni visceralmente dipendenti dall’esperienza, segni epifanici che lasciano presagire una qualche possibilità in divenire ma che non vogliono ammettere una realtà permanente, sondabile e descrivibile. Statement "I build layers of images , unreliable , that perception comprises in a series of representations, viscerally employees by experience. by epiphanic signes that portend some possibilities in the making , but who do not want to admit a reality completely sondabile or definable"
