Is Bacic Painting

Patrì is the single signature on a work, as ambitious as it is word-wise, that represents two young friends who, tired and exhausted by the monotony of today’s society, the limited opportunities they inherited from previous generations, decide to vent their disappointment by embarking on explosive artistic journey aimed at revealing their feelings to the world by means of a contemporary and metropolitan artistic lexicon. Nothing over-thought or premeditated, an almost ingenuous idea in the way that only great ideas can be. On the contrary, in addition to their resolve they determined to carry out some formal, much thought-out research that led to them personally exploring all the recognisable individual styles able to express creativity in a highly energetic fashion. This intention and innovative idea made them even more united, both as friends and artists. To create, in order to escape from an imposed and predictable context, to paint in order to get away from the ready-made restrictions of a stereotyped society and to paint in order to allow their true artistic personalities to emerge. Two names represented by one, moving forwards in perfect synch whilst remaining true to their respective individuality. This is what Patrì is: a single entity made strong by the diversity of its individual components, cognisant and aware that in the synthesis of that signature, all the values and expressive richness of the expressive differences of the two artists is transferred direct to the canvas.. "By a line divided and by an idea, united” is the slogan that perfectly sums up the Prati character. The two diverse personalities express themselves on canvas in unison, with one constant feature. A white, horizontal line that seems to be there to highlight their double creative personality. A simple white, ephemeral line. A line that makes no attempt to hide, but by its very presence on every work produced, allows its diaphanous and temporary essence to shine through. The separation it provides is merely a formality, always visible on the surface of canvas, hovering over the never-ending show of poetic expressiveness that keeps it afloat. As stated, by a line divided, by an idea, united.
