Alessandro Scalabrini

The interest in art was born in the early 2000s when I started travelling and visiting exhibitions and museums both in Italy and abroad. I started getting interested in making some art about in 2011, after buying some paintings of artists that I liked.

By studying the history of those who had made those paintings and why they had come to their artworks from their thoughts, I felt the urge to look for my own language to carry my thoughts and ideas to the outside.

As I was progressing with my work, many paintings on materials ranging from canvases to paper up to cardboard recovered from industrial packaging have accumulated although almost all those works have been destroyed. In about 2014 I decided to stop to deepen and better define what I had tried to translate into images.

At some point I stopped from the initial (instinctive) phase and focused on the idea of ​​colour and the thought that generates it.

The preconceived thought representing the limit of our point of view; both in colour and in life.

White pictures filled with the word that identifies the colour, even if it was not present on the canvas, to create a picture of that colour. This to shift the attention of the spectator from the colour itself to the way we look at the world around us.

Finally I shifted to making artworks composed by endless lines that enter the outline of the canvas and then come out in a path that started physically and temporally.
