About Gian Luigi Delpin

born in 1962 Torino Italy. I live and work in Asti. My artworks on canvas are to interpreded starting from the unconventional materials that I use. ( I have ten years of experience as art director, consultant to design at a manifacturer of decorative products ). At this time I have acquired techical skill about the decorative materials that I trasform. Matter smooth / rough, plastic / rigid. I prepare assemble, transform materials with the passion of a contemporary alchemist aware of the physical properites of materials so that the folds, crevices and thicknesses are vibrating in a composition organized. A visual ensemble that wants to comunicate tactile sensation, physicality and materiality. The hidden beuty of the matter and its characteristics manifested with the awarness of the act ordering the case. Gesture, sign, trait ( i am graduated in graphic design at ISIA Urbino and I did experience as a graphic designer and calligrapher especially ). From the calligraphic stroke to brush, spatula and wooden stick with wich I give shape and structure to matter. The movements of their matter become pure beauty and the view evokes the tact. The word that best describes my art is the ancient greek word Tèchne. Tèchne is a word impossible to translate into any language My inspiration is to pop culture. The tree / not tree is one of my recurrent subjects as it is Gestalt, symbol, architecture and structure self-replicanting in the human mind that always recognised as tree. I have sold about five hundred artworks in my area. My signature is Mac. No frame. All artworks are executed with great care in every detail so that they can last a long long time. The side edges let you see the naked jute canvas to create an almost unfinished effect of continuity with the context in wich the artworks will be included. Mine is a pure aesthetic research between form and matter
