Float glass with decal, curved high-temperature, back-silvered to a mirror and sandblasted Commissioned artwork by "FIAM Italia" and made in a limited series at its workshops There is a sort of centripetal and centrifugal force in Federico Gessi’s artworks. The circle, that represents the main element of these artworks, is considered as the endpoint of lines, shapes and materials as well as the starting point of spaces and colors. It is the vanishing point of a contemporary perspective, and at the same time geometric and mathematical, with an ancient origins, originated in the Urbino’s Renaissance. This is the space of art where to begin, the key to understand this new series of works. Strutturazione CXI is a sculpture, that has its starting point in curved glass and has continuous research thanks to the play of transparencies and reflections inherent in this material. The work then becomes a sculpture at 360°. The light penetrates and explores places, the color brightens and guides the perception among a regulated balance. This work requires to be seen and read from every angle in its complexity, since it is designed to enhance every potential of glass and every aspect of its sculptural genesis. There is nothing unintentional, the measures arise rhythmical and articulated. The spectator has the chance to decide the privileged observation point, always different, always unique.

A research on the balance. A synthesis of shape, concept, space, balance and matter. In order to enter the work of Federico Gessi is necessary to start from a project that the artist marks on a simple piece of paper, caged in the Golden Section rules and the anthropometric scale of proportions devised by Le Corbusier, known as "Modulor": the place where he can sets free all his creativity. Repeated and rhythmical measures. Proportions that refer to the canon of Renaissance beauty and which interpret, with the contemporary’s language, an all-Italian heritage of compositional harmony. The geometric perspective’s tradition becomes balance, the interpretation is the choice to put into dialogue shapes and materials, colors and linear signs. These are the bases where he founds his "Strutturazioni", interesting and vibrant artworks, as if "esprit de geometrie" and "esprit de finesse" just naturally mix. A game of balances and shining surfaces, marked with the smoothness of the paint in contrast with the roughness of the stones. Tactile sensations enclosed in lines marking the two-dimensional space, spreading outside in protruding metal elements. Cold, glazed, smooth and cryptic. Counter-parts of the Plexiglas transparency and stone veining. A game of norm perfections and variations, compensating each other. Where the colour is a pure synthesis of the space, the light is the spontaneity of the led or the reflection on the surface. The thought becomes matter in a long creative process that is starting in a carpentry, in the water-spray polishing the marble, in the laser cutting the metals, ending in the sour smell of the paint. Integrated and composed elements those are configuring the elegances of a new "Strutturazione". Watch the video while I'm at work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD_pelSfTYQ&t=2s
