My pictorial language is black and white, both totalizing and absolute in the chromatic range they contain: from all to nothing and vice versa. It is not so much the conceptual aspect that interests me, but rather the infinite expressive potential of the graphic sign that ranges from thumbnails to large dimensions, each time inverting the perception and the story that is drawn from it. The work presented "Pantheon" was created in September 2021. A large white square of linen cloth is the field in which the circular scale plan of the Pantheon's dome insists with its oculus that allows a glimpse of the sky. The ancient circular plan originates the inspiration for the composition of an urban universe, a theater populated by 252 imaginary windows in nine rings sloping down towards the center. An entire world is revealed in an aerial perspective. The dazzling white background, handcrafted with rabbit glue and Bologna chalk, defines, then gives shape and volume to what the black of the oil drawing suggests. The surface of the canvas presents an alternative architecture to the dome, a kind of beehive teeming with tiny living organisms, slender silhouettes of a busy humanity, which the generalized "lockdown" generated by the pandemic has forced into homes. So, a story of the historical moment. Traces of memory, personal memories, more or less clear observations of gestures and faces of reality give life to a kaleidoscope of weaves and figures. Vertigo of a vision that tries to capture the entire flow of existence in a single glance.

Born in 1976, Gianluca Cavallo lives and works in Salerno. Since he was a child, he has been drawing any kind of subject with extreme naturalness. His portraits, comic-strips, drawings and sketches visualize reality and imagery within the frameworkof daily life. In 2006 he projected the inside of the Church of Virgin Mother in Sassano (Sa) and decorated entirely both the altar and walls with oil paintings based on scenes taken from the Book of Genesis( "The original sin" and "The expulsion from Heaven" frame the huge central altar-piece devoted to the Virgin Mother). In 2007 he met the artist Ugo Marano(1943-2011) that later, in January 2008, introduced his first solo exhibition at Palazzo Sant'Agostino in Salerno. He outlined that "Gianluca Cavallo shows us paintings of different sizes and this is quite important since the choice of pictorial space, small, medium, large, giant, its horizontality or marked verticality is already a deserving stimulus of research to find out unusual pictorial inspirations. Besides we catch his interest in painting in different ways and techniques. Different themes are faced as well. As in every work he was about to plunge into a small gully. The artist works without any prefixed models, subjects or objects prepared in the studio. He creates by heart and even this methodology projects him into an area of oblique contemporaneousness." Since 2008 he has had numerous important group and solo exhibitions with both famous or emerging painters. Recently his production has been enriching of conceptual moments and has been opening up to multimedia languages. In 2013 he has partecipated at 55^ Biennal of Art of Venice with a great work, named "Teatro del bailo" in National Pavillon of Republic of Bangladesh. At the moment he has been working mainly in Rome with many galleries, experimenting and carrying on his personal research .
