Untitled Painting

During numerous years, Emmanuel Piperno exercised his passion for Feng-Shui, the oriental art of balance of strengths in the housing environment. He is the author of an essay on the subject: "The house, the mirror of the soul" (LMI Publishing), a study on the psychological links that we maintain with our house. His numerous works also include a novel: "Expresso Agitato" (Ed. Léo Scheer - M@nuscrits), staging an agoraphobic artist cloistered in his apartment. Obsessed by the space, the city and the architecture, Emmanuel Piperno is a researcher of sense, direction and value. First a representational and figurative artist, it is by this way that he transported us through Tel Aviv in 2009, the white city, the "bubble"; in this overall context his solo exhibition which showed at the Bauhaus Center was heralded as a striking success. But as he will say, "the representational artist became quickly a dead end for me." Today (2011): Pursuing his reflection, he now dedicates himself exclusively to the abstract art on large, sometimes, massive canvases. The entire focus of his energy is dedicated to the space, its discovery and its neighborhood. The space, not in the sense of the nothingness, the nada, but in the elimination of all which lives as a parasite, and in effect, causes interference for us and prevents us from touching the deep essence of this space. His colors of preference are dark, even blacks. His works are strong and powerful, atypical and personal. www.emmanuelpiperno.com
